Low profile front bearing dust caps?

Hi there,

I have an annoying issue in that I can't find a center cap for my 16" ARC Rial wire mesh wheels that fits over the protruding dust caps on my front rotors.

Any advice on something that is either lower profile, or a deeper center cap option? Or, a tried & true solution for fabricating a small extension sleeve that won't easily pop off and look like crap?

Thanks in advance!
-greg

Pull the existing bearing cap and see if there is even room to use a thinner one.

If there isn't, try a thin ( 8 mm ) wheel spacer. Just make sure the lug bolts are long enough to fully engage the hub.
