After a couple of rare centre caps... - J.B
I say 'rare', but that's only because i've had SO MUCH trouble on getting my hands on them. Ive found a couple of sites specialising in custom wheels, but they either dont stock them anymore or have never heard of them.
They're made by 'Veloche', are called 'Spike 520'. A quick google search will bring you up pictures, but heres a link in case you don't know which one's mine : custom-wheels-car-rims.phatkars.com/images/520%20S...g

As you can see the centre cap is far from ordinary, and it has proven difficult for me to source them, so i have decided to try my luck on some motoring sites to see if someone can point me in the right direction.

I live in the UK, so unless dealers can ship quickly and cheaply from overseas, then the dealers will have to be in the UK also.

It is just the centre cap that i am after. (The spiky bit in the centre)

Thanks in advance for any advice/help you can give me.

Not surprised they are rare. Goes to show that it is not only Premiership footballers who have poor taste.

Should be illegal with spikes like that. Unless you are related to Boudica.

or a James Bond wannabe 003.5

What about the JB Aston...£2.6m and hardly a runner, shame it's going to a museum, cars like that should be refettled to working order, in my opinion. Perhaps Goldfinger bought it, he certainly bought it in the film, out of a plane at 30,000 ft.

Be careful out there!

in reply to Stu, i agree the wheels are a bit over the top, but that's why i got them. They're perfectly in keeping with the rest of the mods on the car ('in keeping' used loosely). Bought it a couple of weeks ago because i wanted something a bit crazy, and i think i achieved that
