Lenso BSX Centre Cap Nuts...Which is better??
« on: 04 February 2012, 15:37 »
Got a set of new caps for my Lenso's but didn't relise how much bigger they are. Not sure on them to be honest......

New plastic ones....



Original alloy ones....



Question is do they look gash and should I return them and refurb my originals with new centres?

Bigger ones look alot better. More like BBS now. Slap a BBS centre badge in them. That what I did on mine. And they fooled pretty much everybody that stopped to look.

Cheers mate, posted the question on another forum and the general consensus seems to be exactly what you have said.

Not at all!! Got them on ebay mate, only place I could find them but were £40 a set so alot to pay for what is just plastic caps but do improve the look.

The blue centres are actually silver they just have a protective film over them.

You mean the badges in the centre of the new caps mate? If so I just measured them and they are 70mm.
