Hub Caps.

[Kurt Bergmann]

Hi All,

Does anybody know where to get cheap front hub caps for 17" alloy wheels? Thanks.

[threedogs]

if you mean the centre caps they are about $68 from Nissan each,
only really need the rear ones

[Kurt Bergmann]

Cheers,

Thanks for that......$68 and then you lose on it the next trip?

Wonder does anybody bring in a after market version. EG Chinese copy for around $20.00....food for thought anyway.........

Spray your hubs silver ... I don't see the point of them.

[threedogs]

we wish, did find one on a trip but was mine anyway as I lost it earlier in the day LOL

For not much more you could replace the alloys and put steel rims on and don't need cub caps

i sold my alloys for 250ea then bought black king rims for 130 ea

I I sold mine for $250 each too and I think I got my black Rock Crawler 16x8
Steals for $110 each. Happy days

Kurt, if you decide to go down our suggested path, go back to 16" rims. Believe it or not tyres are cheaper and more readily available if you decide to go touring in the outback.

Happy days alright lol if only we can sell rear bumpers, side steps and other useless junk for a nice little profit lol

Cheers. Thanks for that, I will consider the steel wheels in the future. Was it hard to sell your allow wheels. Any idea on how much I could get wheels for the with Coopers ST Maxx with 20,000K's on them?

I order 3 hub caps from Japan for $38.00 including freight.

Cheers Kurt

i was patient and sold mine individually and rim only, there are a lot of ppl out there wanting to match rims on campers or have a dual wheel carrier fitted so don’t rush but they will sell easy enough unless they are damaged or scratched or the clear coat is coming off.

for what you will get for the coopers id use the tires then look at selling the rims or get 80% out of them and sell them for the same $250.
