Default Got Forkspoke wheels? Need centre caps?....

Gentlemen, I may have found an answer!

Ordered these last week, arrived this morning and fit perfectly.





OK, so I now need to source some badges, but for less than a fiver, I'm happy :-)

I hate my Forkspoke wheels. Look awful, horrible to clean, pain in the butt to check tyre pressures.

Good find with the centre caps though!

They are produced on a self adhesive vinyl that then has a clear epoxy dome added to me it 3D like and offers UV stability.

I quite like my forked alloys but agree they are a pain to keep clean.

Excellent find re centre caps

Just looked on eBay and these are four for £5 I was expecting £5 each. I have just ordered two sets and can finally fit the metal mk2 badges that a member on here had remanufactured a few years in the metal foil.

Good spot by the OP and given the rage of sizes available this post could prove useful to others, especially given the price that some oem caps have gone for

Would you be able to produce octagonal rover 75 inserts to replace the mg octagonal inserts for gridspokes?
