I bought cheap off Ebay to start with, but they were really ste.

Ended up paying the full whack from Racing Green, but they're properly made, fit it the hole and are ultimately worth it.

I bought 2 whole wheel centres with badges from tvrcarparts.com they are (each) £39 plus VAT and postage.
They are made from fibreglass but you can't see the difference with the plastic ones and these don't split.

This thread is well timed, cleaning the wheels at the weekend I realised these badges need replacing.

Can someone confirm that the Clevor Trevor badges fit standard wheels ?

Thanks.

You are right, it's usually the best way forward.
I'll get the tape rule out later, then get on the phone.

On this side of the pond I went to our printer guy who also does vinyl badges and had him make up 40 for our Wolfrace rims and he charged me 50 Canadian dollars or he priced the first 10 for us for 40 canadian dollars. So in the end I paid 10 extra dollars for an extra 30 badges and I will never run short. Go to a GOOD printer and get some extra guys to go in with you on the cost and they will be cheaper than chips. I would put mine up against originals any day and by using my guy he took a centre cap to his shop and they fit perfert. The center caps over here are expensive as I haven't found a supplier here yet and I had to order 2 from the UK.
