I have the original style wheels on my car except they are 16 inch rims. The centre caps already on the car are 50mm. I have searched this site and the web and can't seem to find any in that size. Can any one advise.
Thanks

Paul,
Let me see if i understand you here......
When you say you have original style wheels, in a 16" diameter, do you mean the S2 wheels made by BBS (basically a 5-spoke design), or the SE/NA wheels made by OZ.
If they look like the SE/NA wheels, but are definately 16", then it sounds like you have the Fed wheels (similar in looks to the 15", but the 'spokes' are straight (radially), not swept slightly backwards (or forwards on the other side of the car!).
I suspect we are talking about OZ Federal wheels, in which case the centre cap is the same as the SE/NA, and actually has an Esprit part number (which someone with a better memory will be able to quote).
They should still be availlable from Lotus Aftersales, and cost about a fiver each (that's for the whole thing, not just the badge).

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?
