Default Apex centre cap badge size

Anyone know the above, I know there are many badges floating about on eBay and would like to know which size to look out for, and also what other wheels use the same? P.S. Aldo don't worry they're not being replaced until the refurb has happened whenever that is

They are 57mm caps, the same as you have fitted to your 11 Spokes, make a measurement.

Apex alloys have a 57mm center cap.

Forked spoke, 7 Spoke, 11 Spoke and most facelift alloys have 57mm center caps.

Quite difficult to find these days

I would have but the wheels are 12 miles away in matt's garage that's interesting, as my 11s have deteriorating badges so may put black ones on them and then see which I prefer more on the car! Mark probably has 10 sets of centre caps to put in the 11s anyway!

how difficult are they to remove from wheels on the car (I think I will get some at the scrappy)

The only way I have found is to drill a hole in the center of the cap ind insert a piece of bent rod to pull them off.

Ruins the badge, but you can get replacement Rover badges.

Not sure about MG badges.

Might look a bit dodgy taking a Makita into the scrap yard, hmm maybe the end of a coat hanger around the centre? Might take one the next time I go and give it a shot! I am sure there will be aftermarket ones made, maybe not oem *goes to search eBay* thanks for your help

Stocktake gave me some centre caps for my wheels, the originals were a mess. My wheels had been refurbed so carefully with a pen knife I removed the caps by levering the edge up, and no damage occurred.

I'm not patient enough for this, it would have been solely for other peoples gain as I have 2 sets
