I had my new rear 10x15 Weller wheels powder coated but I need a pair of centre caps



I think I need 78mm caps because I have a set of 76mm caps and they are too loose and the 80mm caps from my old wheels are too big.

Does any one have a spare pair or know were I can get some 78mm caps.

I've tried midlands wheel but the don't do 78mm caps.

Cheers Micky

Did you try Weller themselves? Or maybe Speedshack or Mr Tee? Or buggypete on here?

Years ago, I ran some steel weller(ish) wheels and also struggled to find centre caps.

Local Curry house came up trumps with some stainless spice pots though - fitted a treat and also come in various sizes !!

I used the plastic tubs that these come in for centre caps once, spray painted silver. Take a tape measure out next time you go shopping maybe?

No luck at MR TEE so i'll keep on looking.

I did find some plastic cups that fit I will paint them up and use until I find a good polished set.
