Thanks, that's very helpful!! :D It does confirm that the four stud wheel caps are smaller than the 5 stud ones (seems reasonable!) and it looks like they're around 125mm in diameter (I was told they're around 138mm or so? 5 stud caps are 158mm). No probs, glad you found it useful. The four stud ca...

Re: Soundproofing

To Monkey27, how effective was the deadening, is there substantial external noise reduction (road noise, wind and engine/tranny noise)? It works very well, significant reduction in road\wind and tranmission noise. However it will not drown out loud exhaust systems. It all depends on how and where y...
