Morning all

Does anybody know where I can get some centre caps for these wheels?

Thanks

Are you sure there is such a thing? Awful big hole for a centre cap.

My question also, but the OP seems to think so with the question "know where I can get some centre caps"

Ahem! I beg to differ http://www.island-4x4.co.uk/wheel-centre-with-steel-wheels-genuine-dtc100810-p-20381.html although not specifically for the pictured wheels I see no reason why they wouldn't work?

I think the LR "cap'" needs genuine wheel nuts which have a groove the cap engages with. They're used on D2 commercials with lr steel wheels
The Paddocks wheels should use special wheel nuts with no groove and a different taper.

Bugger, I've been looking for something to cover the centers of mine and hoped these would do the trick.

Has anyone else bought a set of these wheels? The hollow wheel nuts that were supplied with them are smaller than the alloy wheel nuts i'm replacing. They don't look substantial enough?
