Ive been doing some work on the DAFs wheels and would appreciate peoples opinions on the new look. With Hubcaps Without hubcaps. Wider view of how they sit on the car. The rear wheel is how they where before. Improvement?

Wrong PCD. DAF PCD is unique so the only real choice is ones made for them or the ovlov 66. Ovlov 66 GLS wheels look nice though but they are a little bit like finding the fillling from hens teeth.

Caps are stainless steel not chrome so don't shine up quite as well but do last a lot longer. In fact all the brightwork on DAFs is stainless

Looks like banded they will be although not by much. The rims are currently 135mm wide so would probably get them banded to 165mm for mucho cheap tyres choice. At the moment 135 14s are made of pure unobtanium.
I had a suggestion on the DOC forum of putting chrome caps over the wheel nuts and fitting a custom centre cap.
