Have genuine caps on the brum, that is until we fitted rear end disk brakes, now the rear centre caps do not fit due to the miniscule extra length/protrusion.

Anyone with a solution?

Ah - Ok if that's the case you just need to rotate the Center Cap until it fits :

See the 'gaps' in the retainer clips - they should line up with the 'peaks' on wheel hub locator ... ;)

P.S. - This is the front of same Center Cap :

I can confirm that Performance Wheels is about to close ... :cry:

So get in quick if you want anything from them, as stocks will dwindle by end of this year ... ;)

^ Bugger ^ :(

Just now walking back to the car at the shops I've noticed I've lost a center cap :( I've got Performance wheels chrome hub caps like #15 in post 5 of this thread...they are a chromed metal can with a plastic top cap that can pop out for hub nut access, but the plastic cap isn't a perfect fit inside the can. A dicey design when I bought them I had a feeling they would pop out sooner or later. Now the search begins for a replacement, meanwhile I'm going to glue the other 3 in :evil:
