Havard Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 My new car is fitted with Ace 130 Hypers, I think!! Someone refered to them as Ace Spiders before. I only had one centre cap and that was FUBAR!! I am going to send my wheels to be refurbed in the next couple of weeks and I wondered where to get replacement centre caps from!! http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/8128/cimg0267ru7.jpg H.

silvershark44 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I had a pair of azev a alloys and lost a centre cap. Couldnt get hold one at all. In the end I got lucky on ebay. Just by chance though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I'll be the one with the Ace Spiders; also missing centre caps If you have any luck finding some, please could you let me know as I've no idea where to get them and have had no luck so far! Cheers for that link too, Rob! They look promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Sorted!! Went to that place in Oldham where Rob Sheffield put up the link. Cost me £40 for the set but well worth is as they are like rocking horse shit!! Juanchan, you have a PM too!! All I need now is to get the wheels re-furbed and we are laughing!! H.

juanchan Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I gave them a shout yesterday and they said they only knew Ace wheels by numbers not names, and without seeing a sample of the centrecaps I've currently got, they wouldn't be comfortable selling me any Fair plays to them, they could have fed me some BS and tried to flog a set my way. I'd be heading round there myself if they weren't so far from me. Harvard, I've had no PM's sorry Good to hear you got yours sorted though, there is hope for me!

Havard Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Have you measured the hole in the middle of the wheel. Mine were 70mm. They do spring a wee bit so a couple of mm shouldn't make a difference. Surely someone will measure the centres in Oldham for you. If you speak to a guy called Carl, you should be fine!! H.

juanchan Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I haven't measured them, but 70mm sounds about right. I'll get the tape measure out and give them a shout! I think the centrecaps are the only thing I'm not happy about with my car visually, so I'm trying to get them sorted asap. Thanks for your help!

Another possibility is to find another importer of Ace wheels down your neck of the woods. I have been to about 4 alloy wheel shops before I was tipped off about Wheelbase at Oldham. I should have just listened to Rob Sheffield in the first place!! If your centres are 70mm then I would ring Wheelbase and say I'll have 4 of what Paul from Wigan had!! H.

juanchan Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I think Laura pretty much exhausted the wheel people in the area before selling to me, so I'm taking her word on that and not spending too much time looking locally. Can I be cheeky and ask you to put up a pic of the caps you've just bought? My wheels look exactly like the 130s, so whatever fits them should hopefully do me!

Havard Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 No problem. Will have to find the fooking camera first!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 No problem. Will have to find the fooking camera first!! H. No worries if you can't! Just been looking on the Ace website - they list their wheels by names, not numbers They have Spyders on there which are mine, but can't find the Hypers http://www.acealloywheel.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hope these help!! Oh and just found my PM that I didn't send!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 You're a star mate! Mine are 70mm too, so will give them a shout tomorrow/Monday and get some myself. And I'm almost certain your wheels are the same as mine judging from the pic. Yours are just a bit cleaner... See the pic in Lauras first post here.... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=74594 I think Jezzy identifies them in that thread as Spyders. The two centrecaps I've currently got are sticky-taped in place! Took me ages to get one out and I gave up on the other one for now. On a sadder note, I just got spanked by a Y-reg Astra driven by a chav!! I didn't gain a yard from 30 to just gone 100 leptons off a roundabout!! I'd love to know what the hell he'd done under the bonnet of that thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Glad you are sorted mate!! Looks like these are very difficult to find so i think we've been lucky.!! Let us know if they fit. I am not fitting mine until they have been re-sprayed!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I will do! Thanks again for taking the time to take the photos. Those caps look a lot better than the cheap tacky ones I've got. What are you re-spraying yours to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Sounds good dude Get some pics up when they're finished! Mine could do with a refurb but the car, insurance, alarm and far too much pleasurable driving have set me back for the next couple of months!
