May as well get them from the dealers, can't imagine they would be that expensive, you'll also need the little plastic cover for each wheel nut (so 20 in all)

I dont think you necessarily need the wheel nut plastic caps, personal choice i suppose, I put my original nuts on my elite wheels that came with the car on GLS wheels, I bought a set of locking nuts though

you could keep your eyes open for a elite being broken in a scrapyard and see if you can get the centre caps dirt cheap

Take care that they are genuine VX rims and not simply a similar substitute.  

I know that Markie on here got a similar set but the centre cap holes are a VERY slightly differring size - only 1mm or so - but enough so that the caps do not fit tightly and simply fall out......     :-/

Would guess at 'Irmscher' and a VX part number cast into the inside of the rim on the leg area but to be sure, PM Markie and he will advise whats on his.   :y

I've just tried my 16" Elite centre caps on the said 17" which fit perfectly but obviously don't look right.
