Wheel centre cap and locking nuts

[teejayuu]

So had to put replace a tyre on Friday as it had a screw in the shoulder of the rear offside. This was the first time I'd seen the alloys underneath (seen a couple of older 3 series BMW's with similar ones).

Have decided to leave the trims off (don't do much driving (work is 8 miles) so not bothered overly about the aerodynamics).

Does anyone know what the diameter of the wheel centre hole? And what locking wheel nuts I'd need?

Have finally got the the hubcaps and fitted them: what do you think?

If the wheels were bigger or perhaps black it would maybe look okay, but I think as it is, those wheels make the car look dated or something. I can’t quite put my finger on it though

I know what you mean. Perhaps if the rims were dark grey or black with silver high spots.

That could indeed be it! Would be interesting to see how it looks

I think that's quite nice. Although call me shallow, I like the wheel covers!

Late to the party but for completeness here are the new model alloys (flat spokes, without ribs) fitted with Mgtitan centres:

Yes that is outside the Intercontinental in Wellington where the overnight valet parking included charging.

Brown & Gammons sell the locking wheel nuts (B&G Accessories).

Have to say that looks great. Totally changes the look of the car, for the better.
Don't bother with locking wheel bolts. They can be a pain in the arse.

Doh! Just realised the post was nearly 2 years ago!

I think they look better. I had the dealer remove them as they were very tight and I didn't want to damage the finish. Apparently they needed a pair of long nosed pliers to ease the spring clips to remove them.
Although, looking closer, yours are slightly different moulding to mine

I hadn't noticed either...how time flies
