Alloy wheel centre caps for 2007 Knaus.

After driving around France for most of July we lost one of the centre caps from one of our wheels between Roslare and Apple green in Dublin.

It is 75mm diameter which seems to be mostly merc and BMW badged caps available with a different type of clip to hold it in.

I have tried to get one or even a set of four that fits but had no luck. I wouldn't mind a different shade of silver or grey. The problem seems to be getting one which clips in the same.


I have photos below of what it looks like if anyone can help.

Your should be easy enough to get Bob as it is a current model.
Mine is an 07 and nobody seems to know what manufacturer the wheels came from.

I think they are a standard renault item, as the wheels appear to be the same style to those fitted to variuos renault cars.

Dont forget that the base is also a nissan and vauxhall/opel. Mine have no name and are blank, and I am now paranoid that I may have lost one as well.

No official wheels can be found to match

I have picked up a set of 4 blanks on eBay. I thought they looked like they might fit and was surprised to find they did.

They have a few small holes for clipping logos on but the colour is not a bad match.
I might try to get some sort of cover to make them more complete.

Will post photos later.

OK. An update on what I have done.

Bought blank caps and acrylic graphics with the Renault logo. This was better than trying to match the silver colour.

I have attached both together and fitted one to see how it looks.
I have posted photos of the original silver caps and the new Renault ones.


What do you think?
