Trims with Big gaps or not?

[Amigo-Me]

I want to get some trims for my car (cant afford alloys atm) mine atm are paint peeled to pieces.

I would like some like this:

or even better
but they have big gaps and the ugly holey bits like below show.


So my other option is some like these

but i dont like them much...
what should i do?

get covery up ones, or get showey-hole ones?

Yea, but i have no idea on the sizing for them for my car :/ would end up guessing...

look into the punto section, see what people are running, ask a few questions, i'm sure they'll point you right

but at a guess, you have a mk1 right, 15's would look nice

:yeahthat:

if your going to get trims though, get some that cover the steel wheel up.

Save up and get some 15s
4 x 98 pcd
just have a gander on ebay theres usually some pretty cheap ones on there

I'm sure someone else can tell you whether or not they would fit - if you like them of course

What you want is some of them:

And spray the insides of the holes black. Someones done it on here somewhere, but with proper alloys. If i can I'll try find the thread.

well i have a white punto mk2 with all the black trim! n i also cant afford alloys yet so i just used the standard fiat trims n sprayed them black! but keeping the centre badge ovcourse n i think they look smart enuf 4 now! plus it were alot cheeper :yum:

if i couldn't afford alloy's i'd just paint the steelies black or white and run on them until i got some alloys.. hate trims with a passion

Had the trims in the 1st pic on the 1.6 and the cable ties spoilt the effect. Now got genuine Fiat bolt on trims off e-bay brand new boxed for 15 quid which look alright and are a lot cheaper than the refurb my 16" 16vt Coupe alloys need, not to mention 4 new tyres!

if you cant afford alloys, get the steelies cleaned up and paint them wheel silver, it has a slight motorsport look especially if lowered

wheel trims are for girls or your mums car, or on your own car when trying to sell it on.


heres one of my old race cars, I always used steel rims, look great dont they?
