bought these for £100 off ebay. bloke had them fitted to his xr2i but had no center caps or the locking bolts to lock them to the wheel. funnily enough, there is a clio in my college with the same alloys except 16". it has 2 of these center caps  but i have no idea what make the alloys are to find center caps for them. tried a site that say if you send them a picture they can find them but low and behold, they failed.here's a picture:  i hope someone can help  thanks, ben |

Need a better pic of the actuall wheel mate, you shouldnt run them with the steel wheel nuts either, Get some proper alloy wheel nuts or you will bugger the wheels |

Locking wheels nuts are about £15 from a parts shop, and get some alloy wheel nuts as said! measure the gap and find a centre cap via the size? See if Ford do any in the size it is. |

yeah sorry chaps! i have bought wheel nuts and locking nuts already, that picture is from when i first got the wheels and just wanted to see what they looked like lol! its a 120mm gap. been looking but it's pretty damn hard lol! percy, i agree but im trying to get a neat finish on the whole car, and i feel they will top them off! |

Looks like that size is for Audi and VW's. You'll have to try and find some custom ones somewhere I guess :S |

have you fitted them yet ? |
|
| Author: | bensouthport [ Tue Oct 05, 2010 9:17 pm ] |
| Post subject: | Re: center caps! |
not yet, had a practice fitting  fit fine etc, just currently refurbing them panther black, just finding the time to finish them off.will be fitting when i return from london on the 16th too because a full car will scrub the crap out of them. so ideally, i want the center caps by then lol just a pain i dont know what make they are. |

| Post subject: | Re: center caps! |
that was the original idea but as i said before, i'm going for the 'neat and tidy' look now lol the wheel nuts that are chrome just stand out wayyyy too much.
