Wheel Centre Caps

Postby dave.c » 25 Oct 2009 13:59

Hi All
I've recently acquired some MGF wheels thanks to Gavin,
but they have an MG centre
I've looked on fleabay most say flat or resin etc
These centres are slightly convex will the resin ones flex
or am I better off milling/turning flat and do they fade.
Has anybody got a Triumph centre on these wheels and what
did you find best.
Also I have a set of Dolly Alloys if anyone wants, 5 good tyres
and spacers to fit wedge, pick up from Ramsgate or Abingdon.

Dave I am sure that if you speak to Robsport or S&S they can provide replacement centres with the Triumph logo and name on.

I had these on my DHC & they looked fine - the wheels could have been made for the car!

I got a set of the soft resin TRIUMPH with a laural emblems from E-Bay for the mag wheels on the Green 79 DHC and they look and fit great.

They have only been on about 6 months so I can not speak to the longevity.

Not the best picture in the world but you can just about see, I ground down the standard centre caps and then stuck on Solihull made steering wheel centre badges. In the 8 years that the wheels have been on the car I have lost only one.
