    Hi,
    my wife has a fiat punto with alloy wheels. One of the covers for the nuts is missing.

    Does this have a specific name, and is a scrap yard my best bet of gettign one. I thought they might not have them as the alloys are usually taken off crashed cars.

    Got one recently for my SAAB, I think they're refered to as inserts, cost my a tenner, and the main dealer threw it in the post, no hassle :D

    I call them hub caps, as essentially that is what they are!

    I lost 2 on my Wolfrace alloys, and since I bought them, they changed the style of the hubs. Now, I am waiting on 4 from the garage I bought the car in, and they should be here next week.

    Decbuck, either go to a large alloy retailer and they will get the parts for you, or to a car dealer and let them.

    I would try the former actually - a garage might charge more on top then a retailer! Garages usually do!

    I don't know yet. I should be getting them next week. When I do, and if I remember this string, I'll post the prices here for you!
