Currently refurbing an alloy



But having problems finding the badge as it measures about 73mm. searched ebay and the biggest they do is 60mm.

Just got a message from a user saying he can do 70mm.
Do you think its worth paying £18 for 4 and they turn out to small or just leave the caps off?

Vauxhall don't sell wheel centre badges separately, they only sell them with the centre cap themselves, believe me I have tried

Tried two different dealerships and Autovaux, none can get my a chrome griffin badge in 50mm, my only option is to buy the centrecaps again - retail at £28 each IIRC.

They look very good mate, but sorry to tell you they are not Cesaro rims, they are Astra soft-sixes, sometimes known as Astra LS wheels.

Don't put soft six on them, it looks poo.

If you have to put something on them, put Vauxhall.

IMO they'd look better without though.

Ah, I was going to suggest a pinstripe round the edge just inside the lip in the colour of your car, but that quite clearly isn't going to work too well
