Mine are missing the centre caps but I've grown to like them without and my envy dripped away with it.
I gave up trying to source replacements, had them refurbed in blackened chrome.

I'm personally not a fan of them in Gold on a black body.That gold is way too bright/orangy and the red text clashes.
Try bronze or a darker shade?

I'll post some photos when I have them back.
However, the company said they couldn't do anything with the centre nuts.

Which I was gutted at the prospect of having fresh alloys with the centre nuts letting them down.
I then came across Watfields Limited who are precision engineering company based in Barnsley, who are currently selling replica Advan SA3r centre nuts on ebay for£50-55 x 4.
They're made from billet aluminium.

You can get them in plain alloy, or anodised black.

They are identical copies and superb quality.
So much so, I'm probably going to buy another spare set.

Thought some of you guys might be interested in refreshing your old nuts too(ooo err misus!).

I've also contacted Watfields to see if they could make the plastic spanner for a reasonable price.![]()
There's an original one on ebay and the seller wants
£150 for it.
Crazy!! I could buy another three spare sets of nuts for that!
Watfields came back to say they could manufacture the spanner given enough interest and that they were suprised how many of the nuts they've already sold.

Therefore, they will consider it and come back to me.

Some potentially good news for Advan SA3r owners!

It's great they're selling the centre nut, but what about the wheel nut cover/surround?

The outer rims are not really suited to our machines so we will have to stick with the nuts and possibly the caps and spanner for now.

Just checked with them for you nathan.z.Sorry not better news!
