Hi
do these look about right for the locking nut caps please www.wheel-locks.co.uk/prodtype.asp?strParents=&CAT_ID=94&numRecordPosition=1
NB the chrome caps are 22mm and not 21mm (i have a set of 21mm if they're useful to anyone..free)
i ordered 22mm range rover caps in the end .. jobs a good un now
accept the one locking nut cap being absent hence the post .. Thankyou

Do the 21mm fit the standard VXR nuts? Would be interested if so! I have one missing and "chrome" falking off some others.

Cheers Tim, I'll double check the size of mine, ahem, in the morning.

Well, Tim very kindly sent these over to me, double-quick too, but sadly they're too big :-(

The nut covers on mine measure 21mm internally which is the same as these, but mine have little plastic pads on the inside which grip the nut, and Tim's don't, so they're too big.

If anyone else wants them or has a use, I'll happily forward them on (unless Tim wants them back of course!!)

Wouldn't a small dab of Silastic (silicon sealant) on the inside keep them on, if you don't fill them they should be easy to take off when the need arises.
