Bit of a mission but finally found some barrels to put my 4x100 centers in which make for a decent offset. Cant decide on red or Std center cap fits too. Uploaded with ImageShack.usUploaded with ImageShack.usUploaded with ImageShack.us

Center part cut down to fit center cap, centers powdercoated, new nuts/bolts. Just need to take them in to make sure they balance up and then rip the center back out to paint under it. Then polish lips. Also need some spacers to fit front as they just graze on the shock. Might look into having some of the curbing/small dents fixed too. Uploaded with ImageShack.usGaz

Rims dont hit struts in front but the wheel bearing cap sticks out to far and knocks the Vauxhal center ca off. Might have to use spacers just to keep the center cap. Untill car lowered and on ground cant really fully suss it out.

I would grease the nuts of of them and leave the caps off so u can fit your caps without fouling

I would grease the nuts of of them and leave the caps off so u can fit your caps without fouling I wouldn't. I've had a bearing run dry because the cap came off and the outcome wasn't cool. Might not be so bad for normal driving, but for me it happened on the front left at Hampton Downs, where I was entering the first corner (a right hander) at 190km/h in my Chevette. The wheel basically came off on the drive home, but had it happened at the track I probably would have rolled. It went from perfectly fine during a wof check to screwed in a single outing too, just from throwing the grease out at high wheel rpm and no cap.

And if it doesn't come off, the bearing cone or cup can weld themselves to the stub axle or hub - I had the former happen on the Pontiac, many years ago, and it was properly greased witht he cap in place - if it wasn't, I'd expect it to be more likely to occur.
