Hi, finally getting closer to fitting the Mefro wheels I bought last summer, coupled with a tire rotation before Germany. I havnt a clue on centre caps - which ones fit etc. Any thoughts/recommendations/sources?

Thanks Andrew. Swapped my BFG ATs (plus tire rotation), to the Mefros today ready for Germany so will buy a set of these.

Huh? What's better then Aidan?

I don't know now, original 16" ones with black tape work for me but not available anymore, paint them yellow

Wheels?

Could you fit some stick on centrecap VW logos from a golf or something? Would look a lot better than an exposed castlenut on the back.

The website doesn't do them justice -

They actually look like this -

with a gold ring around the logo. Aren't stickers fab!

They will be stolen in Mammutpark!






Or earlier if I remember!

Have you got the correct nuts to hold these on? Or is it nut covers that does it?

Err no. Oh ding-dong! I've got Baxters Mefro nuts and nothing else. I've just held the cap up to the wheel and realise I have no way to hold it on. Is there a known sort of nut covers which fit over the 19mm nuts and are big enough to hold the centre cap on as well?

THis is the problem I hit when I ordered the same part, then put them in a box and forgot about them

I am guessing there must be nut covers that hold them on, would need to be quite need as the Mefro nuts have some length on the head...

Either that or sikaflex

don't they go on behind and stick through the rim ?

Haha, not even thought of that, they came with a big box of stuff, held them up to the wheel shrugged and put them in a box somewhere
