    Hub caps for Compomotives?

    I recently purchased second hand compomotives for the 2014 3L D4 and have fitted them with Wildpeak AT3Ms. I am now trying to source hub caps. The OEM caps from my OEM wheels fit in the opening, but the internal clips do not engage (too narrow) so the caps just fall out. Does anyone know what caps will fit and stay, and where to source them? I have searched both web and AULRO, but can’t find definitive advice. Thanks in advance. Cheers

    Stick the original centres in with a couple dabs of clear neutral cure silicone sealant.

    Not sure where you are but I buy mine from Triumph Rover Spare in Adelaide, $5 per cap last time, I got the black ones, I imagine they would post them to you, as above for retaining them, but get some good quality that deals with higher temperatures, I found the compound is a bit more robust, not necessarily about the heat as such.

    I just put some electrical tape around the perimeter of the clipping tabs and pushed the cap home. Been on the rims for 4 for 3 year now and have never lost a cap. Did not want a "permanent" solution as I sometimes put my OEM rims with Maxis tyres on when I know I am not going to do 4wding for a while.

    My Compos are black, so I just bought a set of black centre caps from eBay.

    They fitted with a positive 'click' but do feel a little lose in the wheel, however haven't fallen out. For added piece of mind you could add a dab of silicone.

    I bought a set of 5 (1 as a spare) from Rimmer Bros. P/N LR069899

    Fit tight and neat. Yet to lose one after 15,000km.
