Ive just got a set of wheel centers for my mini and want to get a set of the dust caps for the valves to match.

The wheel centers i have are British Racing green with the wording MINI in silver.

I know i have seen the dust caps to match on ebay a few months ago and wish i had got them now as i cant seem to find them anywhere!!!

Has anyone seen them anywhere??

The only advice i would give is dont buy alloy ones only plastic, stainless steel or plastic lined alloy. Ive just had to cut a set of alloy BMW ones of my Z4 and ruined two valves which cost me £20 to get sorted. Guy in the tyre place laughed at me and said "If i had a pound for every muppet that puts alloy valve caps on id be retired by now" i recon he was late 20s so must be a few lol

Roofless could probably make you a sticker to go on top of a set of plain ones.
