140 mm wheel hubs

littleun · 7th February 2020, 10:27

I have just purchased 4 Y spoke alloys but I am missing 3 center hub caps, I believe they are 140 mm across, I have seen some for meteor and serpent wheels and wondered if they would fit, or does anybody have any they want to get rid off, I was told they came off a 1999 launch car, many thanks

Rimmers used to have stock of these at a good price, not sure if they still have any but worth a look.

The serpent and comet centres are dished and won't fit as they'll stick out beyond the wheel.
The ones for the Y spokes are a lot flatter

I've got 4 brand new ones but without badges as I took them off for my 11's.
Yours for a tenner

The centre cap for a Serpent is 140mm outside diameter. It has 6 spring leaves on the back arranged in a hexagon (so 3 pairs of leaves). Distance from one leaf to its opposite leaf is 60mm at the widest point. I can take a pic of the back if you want.

Here's the version for Serpents on a facelift car (it has the later-style Viking ship) - https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/649543042
