Nope... You may make a subaru center piece work from another model, but there is nothing that I know of off hand.

Short answer is No.

We are toying with the idea of getting a run made up. Most people like the Alcyone horns symbol, but I'm sure many would like just plain SVX either.

We will have a look at the cost of tooling up. We'll get back to you, let you know if it is a runner or not.

At long last someone has confirmed that they accept that a rim, is in fact, not a wheel.

Ah c'mon Trevor, svxual is from New Zealand, they are so far from civilisation they invent their own language Down There.

[A rim would actually be a wheel if you were happy enough to drive on it without a tyre, would it not?]

It all goes back to horses and carts. Hub, spokes, rim and tyre constituted a wheel and still does. A detachable wheel has no hub. Tyres are now of rubber with the introduction of the pneumatic tyre.

Only detachable rims involve lugs and lug nuts, as do heavy trucks and vintage US cars. Detachable wheels involve wheel nuts.

There can be no argument regarding recorded history.

I would be interested in buying a set of centercaps for the stock rims if you decide to do it. Keep us updated.

We are not talking about centre caps for the standard rims. What most people do with those is fill in the Subaru insert writing, then either finish them off plain, or stick on an SVX vinyl logo, like svxcess does.

What we are talking about is a special SVX centre for fitting to non-standard rims that have the hole in the centre.

The full plastic piece is about 2.5" across and clicks into the 2.0" hole.

[OEM manufactured rims usually have a centrepiece that fits flush into the hole. Aftermarket ones usually sit higher than the hole, this allows them to fit a large variety of wheels.]

My Bad. I do have aftermarket rims on my car and will look to see if the center is what you are talking about. If you do decide to make them I will see if they fit my car and would buy them. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

[svxual]
