Yeh thats what im thinking..

the centre cap is around 64 mm when i roughly measured it.. Where can i source some cheapy centre caps??

Any wheels place will have loads of centre caps or go to a wreckers and look at the old bunkies that have rims still and get the centre caps off them if they fit.

Plumbing pipe, cut rings with expansion tabs, sand and sikaflex to suit.

Tino, get some alloy or plastic and machine an "O"-ring groove into them so they fit your wheels (when you put the O ring in this will hold em to your rims). Then just glue your Sti caps to these.

i had the same problem when i got my rims, they had caps that said 'excel' on them and my standard subaru ones wouldn't clip in there properly, so i got some o rings and stretched them over the subi caps and that was enough for the centrecaps to sit in the rims really nicely, about 50,000ks later and they haven't budged

your car never leaves your garage anyway T, just blutack them on LOL

OOOOO yeah they will look fine also as there black and the centre caps are black.. Where can i get those babies from?? how thick are they i need to go from 60mm to around 64mm.

A question though the cap normally has those plastic wings to make it sit nice and tight. Will the o-rings provide enough support??
