My steel rims look superficially similar . If you fined a cover for the centre of the wheel put it up here because I could do with some also. gets a little rusty and muddy.
That is a good idea, my rims have not rusted only the centre where the caps usually go but I guess it will only be time and wax sound like a good plan. Is this stuff available in spray cans or is it the sort of stuff prayed on chassis with a Styrrup type pump or spray gun? Does Halford do something like that would you know?
They look really good. I’m leaning this way with mine at the moment and have also been looking at the JBW/S+S wheels before considering these. I’ve also been running the AT vs AS tyre decision through my head so it’s good to see how the Cross Climates look for this use case. The ability for the JBW to take the standard centre caps is a pro for me. Was it just availability that ultimately led you to these over the others?
This is the stuff … hardly tell it’s on and power wash proof

I have the Falkens on and zero complaints from me
Yeah just availability.
Which steelies did you opt for @Linoleum Bonypart - any pics? I'd like to see the Falken's on them. The wax spray idea is a good one - did you apply all round before fitting?
I’ve got a plan. I’ve got some 65mm centre caps from my old wheels and the OD of the hubs is 65mm. I’ve bought some 65mm ID silicone pipe which I’m going to cut down into short sleeves, slip them over the hubs and seat the caps inside. Hopefully there’s enough interference to be secure. If not, I’ll whack some silicone sealant or glue in there. Watch this space.
That sounds fun! Perhaps a suitable bottle top might be available.
A bottle top?!
jar top
What a very decent wheel centre that you have made! All the better for compromising on materials and making do, excellent!
