Hey i know people on here have used yoghurt pots and aerosol can top and even saw the top off a can (un-opened!) ;D Just wondered if you would like to share your pictures, or links to different ideas. I'm struggling to find someting that is a snug fit, but may make a budwiser can fit or something Any ideas or pictures would be amazing! Jack

iused aerosol canlids, they were slightly bigger diameter that the hole, but just squeezed the sides, pressed it in and when it sprung back into shape it kinda holds itself in place. have stayed put for 2 or 3 years

I made these Porsche centre caps for my Camper......... Easy and very cheap - take some old CD's..... some gel Porsche badges bought for a couple of quid on e-bay and you end up with this...........

Those CD ones look great and so do all of the ones pictured here suit the wheels in their own individual style, i guess thats what maketh the rims!
p.s i assume that you used mini disks for the CD centre cap cant see it being a normal CD size pmsl nevertheless great work i need to make some centre caps up for my comps!

I bought some blank wheel centres off ebay, painted them, then stuck some blown vinyl type badges on. You can get different size wheel centres, and any decent place that does decals will be able to make up blown vinyl badges to any design.
