Centre caps for Alloys

Post by petroscf »

Does anyone have an idea where I can find centre caps for alloy wheels?
I guess it would be something like a website where the size of the wheel centre hole is used like an input in order to find caps?
I have 4 Alpinas (replicas) multi spoke, but their caps are in a less-than-decent condition, and, as I have refurbished the wheels, I would like to add some new and fresh looking caps to complete the story.
OR
Do you think that it should be ok if I order just black plastic caps in the required size, and use the Alpina stickers from Walloth&Nesch? But still, I don't know where to find plastic black caps.

Checked the website
I did not find the size I need: The centres of the alloys I bought from Mark have smaller dimensions: I haven't got the dimension for the height of the centre hole, but, the interior diameter is 52mm.

However, this is a hole which should be filled by a cap and not only a sticker. Ideally I should find Caps of the above dimension, with the Alpina badge on, otherwise I should find universal caps, where stickers like the ones you sell (but with the diminsions I mentioned) would be glued on. Of course I have no idea how long the glued stickers would stay in place...
