Hairpin alloys - advice needed

Bastelmann · 7th June 2020, 08:13

I actually managed to find a set of hairpins in very nice condition but unfortunately without the centre caps. Could anyone tell me, which caps fit these alloys please?

The caps from Crowns, Contour, and Comet wheels should fit

Hi Andreas.
No those are not the ones you will need, the ones for hairpins are the hard to find centres, 57mm ? I think so tread carefully before purchase, make sure.

I am not sure of these to be honest, remembering they are MGZT wheels so you are looking to find the centres for a Rover that fit.

Pretty certain that as they are a ZT wheel the centres will be 57mm and as such the 57mm Rover wheel centres are hard to find, DTC number ends in 150 IIRC

Hi Dave.
I think you may be right as 57mm are for the 11s /star spokes, & straights.

So Hairpins could be the 54mm but what would be good is if someone could pop a centre out of there Hairpin to be 100% sure, right at this moment I am not.

Hi Dave.
Hope you are both well and safe

I was of the same thinking but am not 100% I have a set of MGZT centres in the shed which I will shortly go and look at but am not sure they would fit into the Hairpin as they came out of some 11s or grid spokes?

PS so have just been down to the shed and these are the reading inside the centres, but do these fit the Hairpins?

I will be taking the front wheel off my car either later today or tomorrow to sort out the belts, I will pop Rover centre and see what that reads,
