Marc, Was able to find 3 of these on Facebook Marketplace. Had been looking for quite a while, I guess a waiting game if you want these. Hole size in rim is 65mm, cap clip diameter is about 67mm. A suggestion from Ausmini Facebook was to use Performance brand caps, like one in your photo, from GT Wheels.https://gtwheels.com.au/search?q=wheel+caps Good luck. |

Does the wheel have a lip on the outer edge to retain clip in style caps? Or do you need push through caps? |

The hole is 62mm No idea how the original cap mounted The ones that were on it were urethaned in PW004 is the part number |

So do they have a lip to hold in the cap like on the left side of the picture, or are they the same diameter all the way through like the right photo? If you can find exact dimensions of the caps you need there are literally thousands of them on eBay |

Lundy is lucky in that all his are the same size. My "set" has 3 different size centres and some have lips and some don't..... Cheers, Ian |

Not all Contessas were sold by ROH as such. I bought a set years ago that had 'Cheviot' metal caps, screwed onto the outside with 4 screws. I still have 3 or 4 caps. Chrome with a black face. |

The bores are straight There are a lot of flat type centre caps on the internet but i need ones that have a dish to them to clear the front drive shaft nut I wonder why the centre sizes vary |

Maybe different manufacturers as Kev suggests. Anyone know if ROH and Cheviot were related?? Did ROH run their own foundries or did they contract out??? The only Oz Minilite copies I ever bought new (from ROH) were labelled "Contestas" .... according to the artwork on the box. Cheers, Ian |

The guy I bought my wheels from had made some from cheap and cheerful stainless camping cups. They have a slight taper and he had cut them at a point they won't push through. Good enough for me, look ok, cheap to replace. Would take a sticker on face which is 55mm D Attachment: 20210729_154958.jpg Attachment: 20210729_155405.jpg
