Have been trying to get hold of a wheel centre for an M12 for ages now and cant.
Spoken to some people this morning about getting some made. Just wondering if anyone
would like some as it works out a lot cheaper to get a few done rather than 1, I dont
have an exact price yet as they need to see it but just wondering if there is much
interest. They can be made from Carbon or Fibreglass

My wheels are black so carbon may look good, although my caps are the same colour as the wheel.

Have got a price on the carbon wheel centres this morning.
I got a price to get 32 made. Not cheap but will look wicked.

Going to be about £27.50 per wheel centre.

Need to know who definately wants some etc and how many

They dont do plastic but can do fibre glass for around £14 each, bit more reasonable I think
then just paint them yourself.
That price is based on around 32 as I have to pay to get mould made

Olly, not interested in the CF one's as plan to keep my wheels silver and think it would look a bit 'MAX POWER' with CF centres. Would like a couple of GF one's tho so to start us off...

Excellent, well I need to get as many as poss to keep the price down.
The mould should be about £60 but if I can get around 30 then they will
do mould for £40

Place them orders chaps!!!

Olly how you getting on with that order?
Are the wheel centres for the 3r and M400 the same size? If so can you find out whether they'll do a set of 4 with m400 detailing?? Count me in if its possible.

Hi, Have not ordered any yet as to make it worth while i need to order around 25-30 just to get the cost of the moulding down to about £40. If I just order a few then its going to be £70 to get mould made and then 12 per centre.
By getting a large order they will do mould cheaper then spreading that cost over x amount of centres makes it cheaper for everyone!

I can only get carbon or fibreglass, then you can paint as required

Just had a though and wondering if the fibreglass would crack if overtightened? I think the nut tightens up to the boss in the middle of the wheel so it should be ok I guess.

The centre I had was from a GTO 3 with the big nut that holds the cover on.

So far only two people have put their names down so thats only 4 plus mine!
