Wheel trims for Motorhome ?

    Any idea where I might get wheel trims for a 2001 ducato based motorhome ?

    I doubt that standard trims would fit as the centre of the wheel see quite high, as opposed to on a car.

    Maybe look in a motor factors for caps. Give them the base vehicle model and see what they can come up with?

    They look well, nice addition to your camper.

    Actually - looking at the pic with the trim on - do you think I should spray paint the old wheel black behind the trim or would it make much difference ?

    Difficult to say from just looking at the picture but on balance I would probably leave it as is.

    It's easier to see on the full size pic : http://imageshack.us/f/836/imag0340.jpg/ (Click the picture in that link for a much bigger pic)

    But I'm thinking you're right - plus if the trims get damaged and I have to remove them the old ones painted black would be terrible...

    :D ok now that's a little easier to see :D

    My vote is to leave it as is. I'd have a list of more important things to spend a few hours on.

    I'd agree with leaving the hubs as they are. The new covers look good. Thanks for letting us know how you got on. Seems like a fast turn around from the seller.

    Yep - very fast - they were courier delivered for that price (£33.90 ~ €38.46)
