Have found 2 suppliers...

Minispares UK

http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?ty=pb&pid=33994&title=

and Midland wheels

http://www.midlandwheels.com/Shop/P-1410-MAMBA-Alloy-Centre-Cap.html

Has anyone got either of these, are they the same product or is one better quality than the other. Hard to tell from the pics.

Midlands told me their cap should fit my 76mm hole so I guess that 80mm is a typo.

Any other suppliers that people know of?

Cheers

I have both, can't really tell the difference but Minispares seem to be a bit better quality.

Here's the Minispares item.

They won't fit the new Mamba wheels (presumably deliberately) as you need to have the wheel centers spun out a few mm to have them press fit in.

Shame, I notice they don't have the "of Halifax" as pictured on the web.

My old ones actually have "Halifax, England"

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

What sort of condition are they in?

I have an original set but they are a bit battered from years of being knocked out of the wheels and the plastic coating on the sticker is cracked.

Thought a better looking set might improve the look of the wheels.

Any new ones make the old wheels look better - I put the Minispares centres and stainless nuts on my original black Mambas and they now look really good (especially when I clean the wheels and polish the rims!)

Oops ,double posted , hit the submit button too soon


Mine are the same , but they appear to be a sticker, would that be correct ?

Yep, they are a sticker, and the clear top layer on the sticker has wrinkled, deteriorated and split.

My centre caps from minispares has the halifax bit on it.
But i did get them a couple of years back.
I ended up making a sticker for my caps to match the wheels.
I'll see if i can dig up all the different colours i made.
