Title: What size centre caps?
Post by: ianv5 on August 08, 2012, 09:35:04 am

I am just about to refurb my Monza 17's and my centre caps have the dreaded white worm. I want to replace the caps with new ones and as I am in work at the moment I don't know wether they are 55mm or 65mm?

Can someone confirm the size for me and also recommend wether I should go for ones from the stealers or ebay (are the ebay ones any good?)

Stealer prices?

Thanks

I've just bought some off ebay and fitted them, seem spot on to me.  They have a black background though where as I think my originals had blue backgrounds.

They're the ones I bought but strangely i got them for £9.95

I don't think mine will be genuine to be honest given the price, but for 9 quid even if i get a bit of wear out of them I can't complain  :happy2:

When I bought them they were actually advertised at 9.95 and that was buy it now with free P+P.  Here is the pic of it from my ebay summary page.

They look fine to me!  Same size as the ones I purchased and they fit perfectly.
