looks a nice job and if not using the centre caps you really need the enclosed cap wheel nuts

Agreed, though very pleased with the quality of the refurb. Must admit I was reluctant to deviate from the standard colour but after fitting I'm convinced I made the right choice.

Looks awesome. Mine will be going this colour soon, the standard 170 wheel corrosion has taken a hold of a couple of them.

Thought it might be too much - black wheels on a black car. Went for a charcoal powder-coat and more by luck than management it's transformed the look totally!

Really looks good mate. Well my ST is magnum grey so I thought black on mine would look good! . Where did you get the centre ford gel overlays?

They will definitely look great on magnum grey. As you can imagine I've got to know my local Ford dealer pretty well, I gave him the diameter of the hole in the wheel centre and he ordered all the centre cap options. Thought these looked the best!

After a lot of searching around for recommendations on the forums I opted for Wheelrite in Chorley Lancs. I paid Ł50:00 per wheel which I thought was more than reasonable considering the condition they were in.

Hi there, found this image on google images and really like the look of these with the smaller centre caps and the nuts exposed! Do you know what the centre caps are supposed to be for?

Thanks

I recently had a set refurbed and bought some universal caps from ebay and had gel centres made by DMB graphics, and if you do go that route change the wheel nuts as open ones look crap

They are a genuine Ford centre cap but beyond that I don't know. When I get chance over the next couple of days I will take one off an post the part number.
