Hi Everyone,

Hopefully a quick question here...

The centre caps for the standard 15" multispoke alloy wheels on the Lounge, are they 50 or 60mm?

I've only recently ordered my Lounge and thought the caps I got from eBay would look better, now i'm worried i've ordered the wrong size! haha!

Cheers everyone!

I would have to say that I don't think they'll look very good with the standard 500 wheels. The wheels are designed specifically for use with the standard centre caps so the open area around the studs isn't going to look particularly nice.

I'm sure someone will come along soon and tell you what diameter the centre cap needs to be though.
 
Hello,

As i can't post links just yet, the eBay item is No. 200675240456.

I'm hoping I've bid on the right thing, but I've seen that these can be quite expensive so at £10 I may well be outbid anyway...

Also at £10, if they do look a bit rubbish I won't have lost too much, I've ordered the car in Raggamuffin Red so my thinking was that the red of the car might go well with the red of the caps...

This is my logic though and i'm quite often wrong! haha!
 
Well £10 in the big scheme of things is hardly going to hurt. If I was to have to make an educated guess I'd say 60mm over 50mm but I could be wrong. I'm sure someone will measure the centre caps up for you soonish.
 
I happen to have one in my draw in my office..
Here are the sizes..

Excellent!

Seems i have indeed gone for the right size...

The only hope now is that they look ok!!

Thanks everyone for your help on this one, especially for the pictures,

Will now do my best to wait patiently for my car to be delivered!

Welcome aboard RunnerStephen. (y)
Good luck on the bidding.

I bought red ringed 500 centre caps a few months ago but haven't put them on. I ended up paying 'full' price for them but some have got them on ebay for around £30 for a set. They have the standard measurements of the Abarth ones that RUI photographed which have now been 'replaced' with chrome in place of the 'black'.

EDIT: Saw this wheel up on the wall in a Main dealer last week (it's for an Evo)...
