Blank plastic centre wheel caps?

[DEREK SLINGSBY]

Can anyone please tell me where I can buy some blank caps for the 60mm hole in the centre of later wheels?
I've searched and searched, bought some caps on eBay and some Renault stickers, the stickers are great but the caps weren't the size they said they were and have had to return them. The people selling the caps don't seem to know how to show their dimensions in the adverts so could do with advice from someone who has actually bought some.

Sorry to hear that. Have you tried getting genuine ones from Renault? I got one a few years ago without problems

I haven't out of principle after the last couple of times I've been in and get the feeling I'm an Englishman being ripped off in France after what they charged me for peddle rubbers and plugs.

Sorry to hear that. Have you tried Melun Retro Passion or Der Franzose?

Hi Derek Slinksby!

If i am getting this correct, you are searching for black cetral wheel caps with Renault logo for standard GTL wheel
Like this one (used picturte form Rich's topic 1985 Renault 4 GTL 1108cc - thank you)



I might have one used set.
But will check first, and send you some photos if them!

 

[DEREK SLINGSBY]

Petak, thanks, mine is a GTL but I actually only need two as two wheels are the earlier solid with a dome.

Melun I hadn't of and have bookmarked it for future but no luck on both thank you.

Hi!

I have searched my boxes and found one set of 4 but it is only one i have and i need it for my car.

I can check on my scrap car if there is central caps but it will take some time to do that (car is not near my house)

Just to be certain. You are looking for this?

Thank you for looking, after hours and hours of searching I've found some blank caps that I'm certain will fit and I'll be able to stick the Renault badges that I purchased onto them.

The 1st link is the Caps & the 2nd is the badges for anyone else that may be looking for some.

The caps are a good find. I need some for the R5. Will measure up to see if they fit. There are other stickers on eBay. I might go for the later type.

I'm OK but thanks, they're like gold dust I imagine

Here they are on the car, not 100% but look OK I think, what's happened is what I thought might, the metal thickness of the wheel is thinner than the ridges of the bung but I resolved it by putting some rubber bands round the bung in the groove nearest the outside.
