Hi Guys, I have a 2013 Lunar CK. After having new tyres fitted I sometime later noticed the centre cap was missing. The fitters said it was not them and they did not find one. Can you help with a likely source as I have tried everything I can knowing Lunar no longer exists? My concern is the exposure of the wheel bearings rather than aesthetics. hope you can help?

    many different types of wheel caps in various sizes available on the web for cars. Why not get a blank one, spray any colour you want, or get some with the same logo as your car manufacturer? At least it protects the centre bearings and should match the car if nothing else

    I think you will find that the bearings are protected by their own ally.cap which is an iterference fit into the brake drum.The wheel centre cap is purely decorative.

    There should be a cap on the wheel bearing that protects it , if that is what you are talking about that is missing? They will be available from the chassis manufacturer
