WTB center caps for Helo Lotus (HE005)

[berkeleyEE]

I need one or more center caps for Helo Lotus (yeah, obsolete) wheels

size 245/40-17

-Jerry

I need the center caps that use a smaller fastener (a #10, I believe) and not the larger 3/8-inch diameter fastener to hold the center cap on.
For my center caps, the diameter of the fastener recess is 7/16" at the front surface and the hole is 1/4" measured at the rear surface.

I hope these are the only two options Helo made for the Lotus wheels.

Any luck on finding the center caps?....I too have the same problem. Although i really like the styling of these wheels one of mine cracked so i have two good ones, one that is missing a center cap, and one that is useless. The wheels i have found online seem to only be packages for a new set and no where sells the center caps. I am to the point of a new set....ones that are not discontinued. What did you conclude for your set of rims?

I see we all have the same problem.My solution is to sell my set. I have a set of four wheels and tires. 215/50/R17 93T Yokohama Avid T4 which are like new-There are pictures of everything. I only have 2 good center caps but, I selling the set for $300 dollars and the buyer pays for shipping. The wheels are in real good shape as anyone can see from the EBAY pictures. If you are not interested, I would love to purchase yourcenter caps or anyone willing to sell theirs. Thank you and good luck.

Yes, I saw that ad.

I feel the same: if your center caps are ever separated from the wheels (and they're the correct size, I once bought some that didn't fit and had to return them) I'd be interested in buying them.
For a reasonable price, of course.

Got'em.

After watching Ebay for more than a year, every day (literally), and once buying a cap that had the wrong size recess for the locking fastener, I scored the proper cap (plus a spare) for my Helo Lotus wheel. Perseverance pays and now I am complete.

In fact, there is a second vendor on Ebay Motors also offering Lotus caps with the smaller recess for the fastener. Who'da thought?
