Wheel centercap
I obtained this wheel centercap a while ago. Tried putting them on my Almex wheels and it didn't fit. So I'm thinking of getting a machine shop to make copies and making them fit by machining them down.
But does anyone know what they were originally for? Anyone want copies of it if and when I try that?

if my car was not away in storage i would take a picture.
all i can say is there is a lip where a rubber band fits on the hub.
on the front it you look where the cap is that covers the bearings in the hub
just in from that (on the out side) there would be a groove in the metal for
the band, some cars had it some didnt. if your car came with hub caps then this
will not be there.

The same hub came on the RX3.
When I change rims the original hub mount - with the rubber ring- would not work! I turned a wood block to fit the hub from the back side of rim. It all jammed together with a little silicone. No wood visable, light weight, lasted for years.

So the little bugger just fits over that mound? Hmmm. That's pretty cool.
Anyone want it? If not I'm going to make it into an egg cup.

But seriously... Here's a pic that shows the hub protrusion and the rubber band on a RX4. RX2 and 3 are similar.

Mound? You're not talking about the little silver grease cap are you? The cap does fit over that, but the grease cap isn't what holds it on. Just trying to be clear.
I've got a set of four of those egg cups I'm gonna sell on eBay. They're pretty nice ones, too.
