Hey,

Has anyone found any 4x100 generic center caps? I don't like wheel covers, but the rust on the hub is awful after having my steels and snows on for less than a week.

 

pezboy,

I know you're looking for center caps but I thought I'd share a pic of the MINI wheel covers I ordered for my 15" steels.

twstlvr, where did you get those wheel covers...and do you mind saying about how much they were? I think I saw a set on a fellow customer's car at my dealer the other day, but couldn't get any info on them. I like them a bit more than the somewhat-similar ones I got from Tirerack. Thanks!

 

jsun,

I purchased them from my local MINI dealer in Cincy. They retail for $19.20 ea. but I was able to get a 20% discount from my dealer. The ended up being $15.36 ea. Here is the MINI part number: 36-13-1-512-571

Thanks for the pic...yeah those are the MINI ones...kind of expensive just for wheel covers though.

I can get the rust off with a steel brush for the most part...and I am told by numerous people that it's just surface rust and shouldn't really hurt the car as long as I try to get it off whenever I can.

 

Pezboy.......Where did you get your wheels? Did they come with center caps or not? I ordered a set of Kosei wheels from Alex at tire rack and had to order the wheel centers seperatly. I then called Classic Mini in Ohio and orderd the MINI centers for $1.50 ea. They are the stick on centers, but I am going to use additional adhesive to put them on with. :smile:

 

D.D.

I got my steels from Tire Rack, which sells covers, but not center caps. GMINI told me he hadn't been able to find any, and I haven't either. Nowhere seems to have center caps, actually I think I found some Saturn 4x100 ones on ebay but I am not that desperate.

 

Pezboy.........The wheel centers that I purchased from Classic MINI would stick right to the center of your wheels. They also sell the MINI center with the prongs on the back that just push into the wheel. Classic MINI is really great to deal with and the parts dept. quite helpful. Call them and they may be able to solve your problem. They also discount parts for users on this site! Good Luck!
