Where can I find these wheel trims??

Postby TriumphStag » Sun Jul 20, 2014 12:03 pm

OK, this may be a wishful thinking post...... but my van currently has these wheel trims on 16" wheels.

which I quite like, but have lost one.

I have been looking on eBay and the like, but have not managed to find one the same. Does anyone know what these are called or where I might be able to get one from? I am guessing that they are not genuine Ford as they have no logos.

I also went and bought a set of trims from ECP but they did not fit due to the dome shape of the wheel (so they went back)

All the other sets I have seen have been in the region of £40 quid!

I have a new set of these in my garage, but sadly for the 14" wheels that were on my Mk5, but I'll have a look to see if there's a makers name on the packaging :)

They look like a set of Asda Cheapies. Try Halfords too.

Thanks guys.... unfortunately they are the only ones that wont let me add to basket! I assume that means that they are out of stock (they are also advertising 14" and 15" on eBay).

Will give them a ring in the morning.

Many thanks all.

So, an update - Motorworld did not have them in stock and could not tell me when they might have them, so told me to keep phoning back.
Anyway I had a quick look on eBay where they also have the 14" and 15" available, but not the 16".

As luck would have it, one of the recommended alternatives was some identical looking wheeltrims. in 16", which are branded as "Streetwize Accessories".

and here they are:

They were £25 and included chrome valve covers and a set of silver cable ties.
If you notice the yellow section on the box, it says that they are for light commercials, so my worry about buying a similar looking set that didn't fit was alleviated.

They fit perfectly so I am a happy sod again :-)

Thanks everyone who helped me find them.
