I'm having my wheels refurbed tomorrow and realised as an after thought I should have bought new wheel centres (caps) or whatever you guys call them. From my avatar what type of wheels are these and does anyone know the diameter I should be buying, I magine Ebay?

Finally I did notice for the first time there is also a small "M" badge on there as well. My car isn't a ZM just a normal 2L

Any advice chaps?
 
There are a lot for sale on ebay which is where I got mine. Look just like the original but after fitting I did give them a blast over with clear sealant from a rattle can. No problems so far but my car is a bit of a garage queen.

also the type of wheel is 135, they're mv2s. little m badges for them will be easy to find on ebay, might be worth also glueing them on to make sure they don't fall off
 
How easy are they to remove & replace?

I don't want to start scraping fresh refurbed wheels or is it a peice of piss?
 
Hi Jock. When I replaced mine I used a small flat screwdriver to carefully prise the old ones out and the new ones just pushed back in by hand. As you say piece of p!
 
Hi - A very very small screwdriver will got them out or a pick, don't just use a standard flat head.

After markets wheel centres are fine, as someone else mentioned it's good to spray a few coasts of lacquer on them to help them last longer.
 
Ask the place that's doing the refurb to leave the old ones off save risking that fresh paint prizing them off that's what I did then popped the new ones on a few days later
