Help with finding center caps
I've been in vain search of a simple 56mm spring steel center-hub cap for my Team Dynamics wheels. Preferably finished in nickle or chrome...hell, at this point I don't care if it's pink plastic
I can picture it clearly and have built a simple math model to illustrate. If any of you know where I can find such a thing I'd greatly appreciate it.

Looks very much like the centre caps on my BBS CH wheels......not sure about the dimensions though. Maybe Alex at Tire Rack could point you in the direction of something suitable ? I was thinking about something similar to fit a set of Volks....if you find anything generic in various diameters I would be very interested. Good luck.

Good Luck on your quest...been there.

Update...I found a car with Rotara wheels and the center hub looks to be a little larger than 56mm. I don't know if the hole is small than that or it has a very small flange. If anyone knows, please do tell.

Pics would be worth a million words...

VW/Audi and BMW E30 center bores are 57.1mm. Some careful filing and fitting of these might do the trick.
