Can you get different ones?
If so, what are the options, and where can i get them?
I have these "4x4 style" ones.... and lets just say, i'd rather have none than put these things back on

The older style looked like the caps on spray paint cans and in fact I believe spray caps will fit. Trouble is, there may be more than one size of centre hole so older centre caps may not fit newer rims. |

I reeeeeeeeeckon they look best with no caps anyhow. The original caps had a red painted centre with ROH Wheels written on them. |

The original caps had a red painted centre with ROH Wheels written on them. And they were effin' ugly as...  so I sold my set.
I agree they look better with none. But I did machine one set of short caps out of black HDPE plastic for my mate's `71S, he put blue Leyland stickers in the middle. He likes em.

Very interested in what others have done here. I currently have no centre caps at the moment, and since it's an appearance thing I'm hesitant to buy new ones. The main problem I have in searching for them is that any centre cap search online asks for the model of car, not the size of the hole. My ROHs have a 2 1/2" hole. I actually have a suzuki swift for wrecking, but it has no centre caps :( |

Be careful.. Paul ewins is right. There are at least 3 different centre hole sizes... Biggest to smallest (of the ones I have) is at least 3 to 4mm. Cheers, Ian |

If you decide to fit caps which have 4 little SS screws in (like some Cheviot ones) ffs mark out the screw holes concentric with the centre hole!
The 4 wheels I just bought were fitted by someone with no regard for this- when each wheel was spun, the cap orbits around the imaginary centre.
I took em off.... These sort-

I believe these are an original early set.

These are the centres on my 10" jellybeans. Sorry about the lack of clarity, but I had to cut this pic from a photo of the whole car. The car's over the other side of the country from where I am at the moment so I don't know how the hole size compares. These centres came with either Aunger or Cheviot branding.

why do they make them stick out so far????
I don't understand ..... why can't they make something that is close to smooth with the wheel face???? |
