Default 2011 Enkei Centre Caps

Hi guys, I hope you can help..,

I have some OEM 2011 Impreza STI wheels on my Hawk, but they came without centre caps.


2011 STi Enkei
Size: 18x8.5"
Offset: +55
Bolt pattern: 5x114.3
Wheel Weight: 23.55
OEM-equipped tire size: 245/40R18
Notes: This wheel was also offered on the 2010 STI Special Edition, in a darker color.

I bought some 59mm ones from eBay for £12 hoping they would fit, here

They are very, very loose and dont appear to clip in properly. As I understand it, that chrome outer should sit flush on the inner of the hub.Any suggestions? I've contacted Subaru parts desk and they don't know the size of their OEM caps, I've even cheekily approached folk on ebay selling the same wheels asking them to measure theirs for me - no response.

Bloody things will cost me a fortune by the time I find the right fit through trial and error





Im thinking of trying something like 50 inner/54 face?

Id take the car back to the dodgy fu6ker who sold it to you


The Rota grids that where on the car before, the standard Rota centre caps where loose, you could basically pull them off with little force, I always thought I would lose one, but never did!!!

Have you thought about putting one in and driving around with it and seeing if it will come off, just try it and have a drive round to see if it stays in.

They are really lose mate, like hanging by a thread lose. As they dont sit in flush the brackets dont reach in enough to grip. Im planning on buying some universal plastic ones then putting some stickers over, might have to just bite the bullet and order one of every size available to try for the best fit

The first set of wheels on the car, I changed the centre caps to plain plastic 60mm centre caps and added 60mm STi carbon fibre effect stickers from e-bay over the top(like pic below)


Seems like 60mm might be what you need to fit as if the 59mm are to loose but just about fit, then 60mm might be what you need(fingers crossed).
