dummy wire wheel spinners for mkiv

[Philip M]

Hello All - I have purchased a fantastic set of spitfire wire wheels - the ones with the 4 holes that can be easily fitted. They don't have centre pieces and I've heard somebody once made dummy spinners for them... I'd ideally like to buy a set as my engineering skills are non-existent, but have no idea where to look.

This kind of thing? I hope I'm right, the description is a bit confusing. Those also require an adaptor, I'm sure there are cheaper about.

Im sure someone on the old forum used small alloy drink can cut with a motif glued on .

Pete, how do you make a faux spinner out of a drinks can, melt it down and recast it? 

Can you post a photo Philip so we can see what there is in the centre to attach something too?  Are they like these? https://goo.gl/images/5dJjtA

That's a centre cap, as opposed to a spinner. 

Just cut the end off the can and use that (the end without the ring pull unless you like that look)

I presumed the OP wanted proper spinners?

Emergency kit, Tony - open in the event of a breakdown. Just hope it's the AA that get to you first.

Of course for a wheel centre you could always use those 'fidget spinner' thingies that the kids play with, but just don't park near a school or they'll be gone in a flash.

Which AA Colin? Acoholics anonymous, or the real AA

The Automobile Association, they're the ones. Nothing to do with those other guys.

As opposed to the Real Alcohol Connoisseurs, for whom I used to work back in the early 1980s.

Colin Thank you - that is exactly what I'm looking for. The chap there has been really helpful. Phil
