hi there
i got some hartge h27 style wheels.
i bought it from someone.

their original centre caps are missing though.
there are other centre caps currently on. they are fitted
with 2 allen key type screws..

this confuses me.. because all the hartge h27 type allow pictures ive seen seem to have clip on type centre caps..

when i took the non-original centre caps off i can see...
HARTGE imprinted on the wheel... the letters stand out..
and what looks like "MADE IN GERMANY".

but like i said... 2 alle key type screws...

were some of the hartge's fitted with centre caps with allen type screws?
or were they all clip on?

So has the wheel got an allen key fixing too? Seems strange, all the 16's i have seen have been clip on. Only the 15's have the bolt on fixing.

cant sent pics yet as the wheels are "GETTING THE TREATMENT" they are going to look
like they came from the factory when i pick em up next week friday!!

its "bolt on-no-spacers-or-spigots-or-rubbing RIGHTNESS"
cant wait.

spoke to the guy i bought them from yesterday... apparently they were clip on but were threaded for
2 allen key bolts. much better anyway.
sadly. not the original centre caps..but i suppose at least i have the wheels!

cheers
