Chrome front wheel Covers and wheel nut caps

Hya all, I'm looking for a pair of front chrome hub Covers and chrome wheel nut covers for my 22.5 rims, any one help try and locate a supplier, im also missing 1 wheel nut chrome cap for rear, but I'm sure there not sold separately so would probably have to buy a set anyway for both sides, maybe someone on this site has a pair of good condition used ones that they would like to sell thanks kev

Also, for your nut chrome cap covers for your rear wheels -- be aware there are at least 6 or 8 different styles of these covers.  It might be wise to take one of your existing covers with you when you go to the store.

I've got some plastic nut covers. Quite similar to what was/is on our wheels. Got them from Big Rig Chrome Shop here in the U.S.
The company is United Plastic
(10) pieces in the pack.
1.5" x 2.25" pointed lug nut cover/ Part #10003P
Bar Code 71027003068
Made in Taiwan.
Maybe thru them?
Less than $10/pack of 10.
And of course, you would need 24 or (6) per wheel so you would end up with six spares because you would have to buy three packs to get your necessary 24.

I just scanned the covers. They are steel and are chrome plated. I was wrong on my previous post. Seems I have some plastic covers in the cabinet in the garage. I just checked the metal ones  with a magnet and the magnet picks them up so not stainless.
The scan has two covers laying on their sides, one cover standing up so the inside is visible, and one tipped so the tapered end is visible, along with a steel ruler and a wood block to hold the one cover tipped up.
I will have the DW try to take some pictures and see if they are any better than the scan.

Kevin,  measure the width of those wheel nuts and send it to me ( mine are totally different as they screw on) and let me know how many you need so I can get some and mail them to you. If you cannot get them in UK I would be surprised for sure. Anyway check first then if not available I will mail them. Hoping to be over there to see you in Sept when we do our round England/Wales etc trip that was planned for last year. I am driving right past your back door as you know, but that is a long time to wait for them so will pop them in mail.
Take care, and send the forum a good picture of Penzance or Mousehole (my fav little place) so they can see what are beautiful little towns all around Cornwall.

Kev, the lug nuts on your coach should be the same size as ours--38mm (or 1-1/2") seeing as how you have the same 6 bolt pattern.
By the way, take real good care of those rims. Almost impossible to find a used one over here and a new one will cost you around $400 U.S.

I've only got one rim and is damaged, if that is the case, il have to think again, John Haygarth said he would look for some for me, if that is the case il settle for just the chrome nut covers thanks kev

I think we are having a problem with nomenclature here. Like, over in England you have a bonnet  that is a hood over here.
I am talking about the great big round thingee that the tire is mounted on.

I seem to remember getting replacement  individual lug nut covers through the Foretravel Parts dept several years ago
There are several kinds they installed, press fit like yours and some screw on.

Ah I see, sorry you mean the wheel itself ha ha,  I thought you meant the hub covers were 400 usd ha ha, I tex him and said not to bother with the hub Covers if they were that expensive, bit of confusion there on my part, il ask him to look for covers, when he goes to the store thanks kev
