Did some work on my car and probably didnt get the center cap snugged in properly.
Lost the center as pictured on the freeway somewhere, anybody know where to get a sensibly priced replacement?
I took one off another wheel, and bizarrely it has two part numbers on the back.
3WO601165AL and 3WO601161AJ
Its a 20 inch rim
I googled both but got no hits.
Thanks in advance.

I have the EXACT same wheels - see bleow pictures.

EXACT same problem with mine.. Had a shop replace my control arms. A few days later I noticed the entire center section on my right front wheel was lost somewhere while driving. I showed the shop the problem. They said they could source an entire assembly for $700 - expecting me to pay it.

Any sources to get the entire assembly, including the hub, center chrome ring and B cap?

Also - any videos out there that show proper installation? I believe the large hub center is fastened to the wheel, not just pressed in.

Thanks as always.

 

Hello @Randy V ,
Can you please post a picture of your wheel, this way we can see the mounting type.

As depending on the year and wheel design, there are different mounting types, as shown below with a Mulliner wheel of the same design, the earlier one has the 2 threaded holes for the retaining bolts to go in, the newer doesn't, the newer wheel/cap is fully a snap on center cap, whereas the earlier Mulliner and my 2005 original wheels had 2 allen heads bolts to secure each center dress ring, and then a snap on "B" cap.

Johnny -

Please read my post above yours.
My wheel type is shown in my post above.

Same as the type you show below.

My question is - how is the center wheel section attached to the wheel? See second picture in my post above. That is the section I am inquiring about for the wheel you show below. How is the middle section of the wheel removed/installed/secured.

Hopefully this makes it clearer for you.

Thanks

 

Hi @Randy V ,
That's why I was asking for a picture of your wheel, as the photos by @philberticus do not show the wheel with the center ring / cap removed, so if you post a picture of your wheel with the piece removed / missing, then I can determine which mounting style your wheels have.

OK, joke's on me.

Thanks anyway. I'll figure it out.

 

Randy,
What do you mean the jokes on you, I am not joking about anything, I simply asked you to post a picture of your own wheel with the piece missing, as you say, you have the same type as Philberticus has, but he doesn't show the cap removed either, and the same type wheel doesn't mean exactly the same type mounting style for the cap, as I said and showed previously, some bolt on the ring, then the "B" cap/section pops in, or, like my A8L W12 wheels, they snap in place and are held by a pressure ring on the back side of the cap, this ring with it's gap allowed the plastic mounting tabs of the cap to move inward to center to go inside the bore/hole in the wheel, then the ring pops the plastic tabs out once the trim piece is fully seated.


My A8L W12 center trim cap.




The Bentley cap that I believe you have.







As some appear to come in pieces, they may be the bolt on type, that is why I asked for your own picture, I do not want to waste your time giving wrong information.

Sharing for education -

After further investigation of other sources, the center hub cap of the 20" Mulliner wheels (wheel shown in my first post to this thread), is removed by first removing the center B cap using a small tool at the small notch located on the adjacent trim ring, and gently prising the B out. Then, reach two fingers in, grab the inside edge of the hub cap and give a tug. The entire hub cap assembly (shown in my post above) pops right out.

Additional steps are required to remove the inner chrome trim ring from the hub cap. Search YouTube.

Good day.
