Hello all -

My mini has 12" Minator wheels that have conspicuously absent center caps. I've been looking to find a set that will work, but I'm a bit stuck.

The center hub bore has an inner diameter of 58mm. However, it does have a noticeably larger inner diameter past the opening. See the photo.

Does anybody have suggestions of center caps that might work? I'm not looking for anything fancy, even something flat would work just fine. I just don't want to waste money buying singing that won't work.

Centre caps usually have a lip at the " open end " to stop them flying out , but also they tend to be tapered so as to get a tight fit into the hub hole. I am sure you can still get 58mm caps for certain alloys etc, JBW ( John Brown Wheels ) do centre caps for their range of alloys so it,s worth googling.

You need to fit them from the inside which, means taking each wheel off to fit them ( sorry if you did know that ).
