Wheel centre caps are important for enhancing the look of your wheels and protecting the hub from dirt and debris. Follow these steps to find the right size for your wheel caps:
Step-by-Step Guide to find your wheel centre cap size.
1. Gather Your Tools
- Calliper: A digital or manual calliper is ideal for precise measurements.
- Flat Surface: Use a flat, even surface to place the rim cap during measurements.
2. Measure the Outer Diameter (O.D.)
- Position the Cap: Place the centre cap on the flat surface.
- Use the Calliper: Measure the outer diameter from the front of the cap, ensuring the calliper is parallel to the surface for accurate results.
3. Measure the Inner Diameter (I.D.)
- Locate the Snap Clips: Flip the centre cap over to the backside.
- Calliper Placement: Measure the inner diameter by placing the calliper between the two farthest snap clips in a straight line.
4. Measure the Depth
- Clip Length: Measure the length of each snap clip.
- Use a Ruler or Measuring Tape: Use these tools to measure the depth, but stick to the calliper for diameter measurements.
5. Focus on Outer and Inner Diameters
- Avoid Measuring the Centre Bore: The centre bore measurement won't help you find a replacement centre cap. Focus on outer and inner diameters along with depth.
6. Select the Right Replacement
- Search for Accurate Measurements: Look for centre caps that match your specifications.
- Check Fit for Lug Nuts and Hub: Ensure aftermarket centre caps fit perfectly.
Accurate measurements are crucial when selecting wheel caps. Follow these steps carefully for the best results.
