OZ F1 centre caps - chrome diamond or not?

[markhinton]

I've just purchased a set of OZ F1's (thanks Bobby!) which I'm getting refurbished, and was wondering if the diamonds on the centre caps are chrome like most of the other Renault alloy wheels? Obviously you can't remove the diamonds separately like you can with the 182 wheels, so I'd have to purchase new ones or just live with them being all one colour.

I did a quick search but a lot seem to be refurbed so I can't tell, but a few seem to be a little more shiney around the diamond area? Random, just wanted to clarify in my own head

You should of just asked

the ones that are a slight different black are new Renault centre caps that I've modified to fit the oz f1's. if you wanted you could push the diamonds out.

Iirc two of the caps are the original caps and the diamond are built into the cap so can't be pushed out.

I did notice that two were slightly different - brilliant, thanks! I might see if the newer style ones can be purchase from Renault still, as they look a bit more sturdy than the ones with the wire backing

Yeah they can I think the part number is on the back, their from a scenic iirc. Cost about £10 each though and they need to cut back a lot to fit.
