There are two sizes. The ones for the 14 inch diameter off the 280 are bigger than the ones fitted to 15 inch wheels of the 350i. What wheels are they for and what diameter is the center hole in your wheels? I have a set of each probably available as I have now begun to break up my 350i.

If you've got any odd spare ones for the 350i, 15" lattice wheels, I'd be interested.

I have one. I'll check what size it is and come back tomorrow.

I have one to... it might be a bit tatty - but it could be refurbed. Let me know if you need it!

The one I have is in good nick, plastic painted metallic silver with a black TVR badge in the centre and has one hole to secure it. It measures 160mm across. Not sure if it is for an OZ split rim or cross spoke.

I will try and upload a picture.

If they're for the 350 cross spokes i'll take one off your hands Adam. Don't need it right now, so if you'd like to exchange it for beer tokens @ BBWF that would be great.

Luckily I drink a _lot_ of beer, so we might be able to strike a deal ;^)

I have 4 spare although 2 of them have a couple of lugs missing. They can still be fitted using insulation tape round the remaining lugs prior to pushing into place. Will bring to BBWF if anyone wants to buy me a pint or two

Is there no alternative to these plastic caps? Hoped this thread would come up with an alternative. As I don't like them (view & plastic), one is missing and only have the rear ones on to 'protect' the rear hub nut.
