Post subject:  13" Wheel Caps
I was just wondering if anyone has ever or knows if anyone has spun out some flush fitting centre caps for 13? Performance Superlites? I would love to do this on my wheels but can?t find anyone who has done it. I have tried different mag wheel centres but non that I have tried fitted??mmmmm :?

Interesting idea, i run mine without caps..gives it a deeper dished look, but i wouldn't mind some flat ones..

Performance make flat caps for them now instead of the cone shape, anyone who can get he wheels in should be able to get the caps..

How recent if your info as i spoke to them only a few months ago and they said they had nothing that would fit.....I hope you are correct as like you say it gives it a deep dish look and would finsh it off. looks like i will be making a few phne calls again tomorrow.

Depends how old your wheels are, i believe they have changed the size of the hole in the center..

This is what it looks like without:

Thanks, My wheels are about 5years old..ring around, if they're only 10months old you should be able to get flat caps for them..

I looked at the 12" caps but they told me the centre of them are smaller than the 13". I don't think they know what they are doing!!! I might have to go down to head office and see for myself. Your caps look great on the ute.

My car is the blue one (no caps at all..12x5 rims)

The white ute is Dean Canto's..(13x6 with flat caps)..I saw the caps on that ute and wanted them for mine, but i was told that my wheels have a smaller center. They should fit your 13" wheels though.

Ok i will have to call them and let them know i have seen them short of me finding out where Dean got them from. Some retailers here in Adelaide just don't have a clue i kid you not.

I called Performance today and guess what I got the run around again as they said they don?t make any other caps to fit my wheels and in closer inspection on Canto's Ute they are another mags centre caps. So I am scratching my head but I have come up with an idea just have to find a metal lave worker and try it out.
