Wheel bolt "covers"

[azz00]

Hi all I recently repainted my centre caps but I realised that the wheel bolts look rank so I was wondering if theres any thing that will cover them. I.e. a cap as I dont want to have to spend much on new bolts etc.

This is now what the centre caps look like anyway....

Not sure what the previous owner did the them but they were horrbile.

Wish I could have got the "racing" on as well but the letters were too small.

Looks much better mate, good work.

Would look excellent if you could get some black anodised bolts? If there is such a ting for that fitment.

Or spray the bolts black? Would probably chip off though.

Yeah I was thinking about spraying them but when i come to put them back on the paint would probably just flake everywhere.

I like the black bolts idea tho.

Most places like halfords etc sell black plastic wheel bolt covers, though obviously they won't fit on the locker due to it being round. As for the way the centre caps used to be, that's what happens when someone uses acidic wheel cleaner on that type of finish.

Ohhh I see. Dont suppose you know how much they are in halfords do you? Cant find a link on the website.

I have looked on ebay as well and they are wanting stupid ammounts.

No idea matey, I can't actually remember if Halfords sell them come to think of it I've only seen them in a shop near me that sells car styling/tuning parts.

Looks mint mate. Was the wheel colour Peugot graphite grey by any chance?

Wheels were powder coated in titanium but I done the centre caps myself in Rover stone grey

Theres a good selection of black and chrome caps on ebay, I got a set of 20 for a tenner a few months ago but can't find the link to the seller.

Was going to nab them off my pals Pug but someone has already nabbed 4 of them lol

 

[azz00]

Yeah theres loads on ebay but size should I be looking for?

Managed to get hold of a sticker machine and then laquered over the top.

Can anyone confirm what size covers I should be looking for?

There seems to be a choice between 17mm and 19mm

Cheers.
