Well they're rare as chuff, even when they do appear they're tatty (like mine) and they're a little iconic.
So maybe.

Oh I totally agree but if you've got prodrive wheels (and a lot of us have) and the centre caps erode badly/quickly then the price is bound to rise.

The fact that they're unavailable new has caused this to happen

I've given up looking at centre caps for my pff7's. That's the going rate it seems.

Try finding one for OZ Prodrive P1 anthacrite. I lost hope after 3months of everyday searching. If anyone has one i'm thinking to pay stupid price also...

Aren't they just stickers ? No good if you have no centre cap to stick it too.

I've just had my PFF7's refurbed by My Alloys in Basingstoke.
A mighty job they have done, 2 repairs & 4 straightens & refurb. Look the rollocks again.
Original caps were so corroded, I needed new ones. Tried Subaru UK, they say not them, talk to Prodrive. Prodrive say all bits sold to Subaru UK.
I contacted Rim Style in Kent 01233 503006 as they do a good selection of Speedline wheels.
I spoke to Toby, who went & measured some they have & found the exact same size. 4 ordered & arrived today, with the centre caps from Turini's (brushed with dark blue Speedline over white Corse). Perfect fit.
They came as blank caps & stick-on shiny bits. They must sell caps only to stick on the above.
Wouldn't personally advertise either of them, Too pass the buck to me.

Ive been looking at prodrive p1 caps fr ages aswel n i won't pay £150 for a piece of plastic that seem to just dissolve with a bit of water. May just stock up on the stickers and change it every time the mess up
