Alloy wheel identification

Post by Mikebmth »

Hi guys, since buying my Gls I have had a centre cap missing off my rims but I have searched loads of sites and have not seen any like them before.

They have a Vauxhall badge in the centre although faded it is there but with just one missing I wondered if anyone else has ever seen these:

Give me a part number off the back of one and I can find out what they are off if not a cav

Hope you work out what the wheel is Mike.

I've often thought of doing a wheel guide for Vauxhalls...but what I need is some brochures (to see what was on offer and when) and knowledgable people to create the ultimate reference list! Something of a personal project for me...if anyone can help with sizes/names/etc it would be great.

you can buy just the badge for the centre cap, just measure it first as they come in different sizes. there are usually a few new ones on the 'bay but otherwise the parts desk might be of help :)

I had a quick look throught the EPC and couldn't find anything that looked right so the PN is a required.

After much hunting round them they are Multifit so more than likely aftermarket ones, total pain in the arse but now gonna look to change them I think as it looks shite with one missing its centre..

Cheers guys!

Well at least noe you have a load of Choices. Vauxhall do a load of 4stud alloys 14", 15" or 16", Or you could always go after market 17"'s etc.

Tho you wont go wrong with a set of Cavalier Expression alloys or SRi/Cesaros.

there was a very early o.z wheel that looked like this circa 95 iirc.

think chances of getting a centre cap are slim to nil thou!

like i said before, measure the centre cap and you'll be able to get a replacement on the 'bay or wherever pretty easily. if the wheels are GM OE, which i doubt, there will be a GM stamp and the part number embossed on the back. if they were ever intended for the cavalier the wheels should be ET49. if theyre aftermarket alloys of note then the manufacturer will be embossed on the rim or on the rear of the wheel somewhere. you'll probably need to take one of them off to be sure.
