i brought this alloys and they didnt come with centre caps, had a look for some then realised hang on, idk what size they are! i went out there and got 58mm, i kinda dont trust myself tho :bang:

Something like "FIAT wheel centre caps" on eBay.

The other thing to work out is if you need spacers (etc). There should be an et mark somewhere on the wheels.

Stud conversion will be better than longer bolts, especially if you have to use spacers.

i will be needing spacers, gonna get the hub-centric ones tho, this sorta mods confuses me :(
 
i think you'll find that its not a little push in plastic Clip
its a Clip of facia that covers all the wheel bolts
(ebay research)

These look like yours
As you can see they have these like covers

The 58mm you measured IIRC is the size of the centre bore for punto's and many other fiats

could i just get normal fiat centre caps? they will be fine? or do i have to find these...

Right - to make myself clear yet again
Those version of alloys require a centre trim/face/facia instead of the centre cap
When you look on ebay at same alloys you can see this

That centre cap isn't the standard size because that 58 (58.1mm) will be for the centre bore of the driveshaft or rear hub axle

Most fiat center pieces are either 50mm or 60mm (based on ebay searchs)

I cant find any on ebay that match your alloys - so keep an eye out in scrap yards and on the bay
