hartge centre caps?

Post Fri Dec 05, 2014 8:19 pm

can you still buy hartge centre caps new, i want to get my wheels referbed in the new year but have no centre caps. I will probably sell the wheels after to part fund an engine swap, have 5 in total with 1 which is brand new and never even had a tyre put on the thing but no caps

Do not bother refurbing them or buying caps. Sell them as they are and sell the single new one separately.
This will give you the best net return and the least hassle.

There is a unbeknown to Back Alley Pete's sources of Hartge centre caps. PM me if you are interested.

Cheers,

Indeed, the caps are readily available from Hartge for Ca 100 euros a set .

But if the OP wants maximum return for least hassle, let the caps and refurb dramas be the next persons problem.

thanks pete and hartge, im in no rush at this side of the new year, unless sombody offers me some monies but good to know theyre still available at a reasonable price, the wheels are in good condition but have been painted black so will put buyers off i think, the spare is still original though

what sort of money are they worth as is?(black, good proxes and no caps)

or refurbed with same tyres + caps?

I need 4 centre caps for 19" design D's, anyone know if they are specific or can the more common 17" caps fit?

Post Sun Dec 07, 2014 6:53 pm

It's more the c/b size. iirc the caps for 17" onwards are the same in diameter

Post Sun Dec 07, 2014 7:09 pm

17's are a bit bigger and the fitting lugs are deeper

Post Mon Dec 08, 2014 7:49 am

Think my 19's are 82mm cb with spigot rings, is that the same as 17's? Are they still available? Be handy to try one in there just to see

Post Mon Dec 08, 2014 9:35 am

Normally 72mm c/b.

Post Mon Dec 08, 2014 12:30 pm

Mine are definitely over 80mm, when I bought them two of them were fitted with a steel spacer which reduced the cb to 72.6 and the other two had normal plastic spigots in. I took the spacers off as the offset was too low and put spigot rings in. I've never been able to find much info on them and the only car I've seen with them fitted was an e31. If the caps are specific to the 19" I think my chances are slim

Matt try the link above. They might have some in stock.

The e30 is the only one on hartge's site which still has the big flat caps showing, all the other models are showing the little modern caps for the newer halfords wheels

Would help if I knew what they were originally fitted to/made for!

Are yours the ones with locks?

Push on plastic. I doubt you'll find a set.
Have you tried Ed38 or Wheel-Whores sites?

Post Wed Dec 10, 2014 8:30 am

So will they be specific to the 19 or will 17's fit rav? I haven't to be honest, wheel whores might be worth a look!
