yes 19mm and loads cheaper than vw ones

I've had these on my motorhome since it was new in 2016, and they are perfect. I put them on because the alloys are mainly Black, and the wheel bolts looked a bit commercial.
My T6 also has Black wheels, but my wheel supplier sent me a full set of Black bolts, so didn't need them on the van.

I pop my caps off a couple of times a year just to stop them getting stuck on, because that tool is a bit flimsy.

i have a set of the vw ones if you're interested, good price!

Anyone aware of some non-black (silver!) covers that are of good quality?

I've used the silicone ones that are about £6 delivered from a Bulgarian seller on Ebay. Came very quickly. The link to grey one is below however something has gone wrong with his price conversion on this listing!

Grey wheel bolt covers

Such a difference on matte black rims for a few pound coins. Nice matte finish and a clever bit of profiling ( can be seen in pic of single cap with the removal tweezers) which provides a little lip for easy removal. Says UK based supplier as well !

Ordered !

Let us know how you get on fitting those...

 

[Shredder]

I'm really hoping that didn't mean you already know they won't fit

The description says 17mm but ours are 19mm

 

[Shredder]

OK thanks for the heads-up .... I specifically contacted Leighton Vans and asked them what bolts were used on the 20" wheels on my specific build and they said 17mm hex. I'll be looking for a credit note when I collect the vehicle if they're wrong

Says don't fit locking wheel nut.... so can you get ones to fit the locks?
I have searched but can't find any 19mm

I went for these Audi ones. The VW bolt covers don’t fit the original sportline wheels I have. They include the circular locking covers too

I got a set of similar for the 17mm bolts on mine. Fit perfectly but the larger ones they give you in the kit for the locking nut didn't fit. They were too big. I guess locking wheel nuts vary too much for a standard kit to get this right every time. So, you can be left with one silver bolt per wheel !

The other problem is that, getting them off with the skimpy 'christmas cracker quality' tweezers they give you is actually much more tricky and time consuming than you would imagine.

I've suddenly thought, what was I even doing messing around with these covers. I'm going to order a set of quality replacement black bolts in black nickel or PVD coating and matching locking nuts

The silicone ones fit over the locking bolt too.

 

[Paulb07]

Thanks...would be ideal but I can't find them in black

The silicone ones fit over the locking bolt too.

Thanks might try these for now....

I have those on my van. No problems with them.

Cheers @Deaky they look sweet.

Are they the same ones as in the link, they look much light in colour?
