20” Cremona wheel center caps
I had my ‘08 wheels refinished and I am now looking for a new set of center caps. I had bought a set off of eBay and they did not fit tight like the old ones. It seems the tabs that have the retaining ridge on it are too long. The diameter was perfect just loose. Does anybody have any info as to where I can get a set that would fit the Cremona’s? Looking for the black / chrome with the Jaguar head.

I’m still looking and searching for a correct fitting cap. I just don’t like the thought of jury rigging the caps with tape. But what else can I expect from China/HongKong for a fitup.
Probably will tape em till I find a set that fit. I just can’t ride around without any center caps that wouldn’t be right either.

I have an email to a dealer that is showing 12.50 a cap in NJ
I’ll find something along the way.

I did investigate the OEM Jag of Harrisburg Pa (closest) and they were 40$ A cap for a piece of plastic but that would give you choice of red or black, wow. This is the one with the standard growler head not a machined aluminum cap.

Spending money for a piece of plastic that is 3$ from China that doesn’t fit can be expected.
Spending 40$ for basically same piece of plastic is not acceptable. Jesse James had a gun and never had it that good!
I’ll wait for reply from Jag dlr in NJ. 50$ for 4 that fit is still high but acceptable. I would expect double China cost at the very least. So I’m ok with 12$ (4x China) ea.

Our forum Sponsor S N G Barratt lists both OE Jaguar and aftermarket Wheel Badges.
(click on the image to enlarge it)
$26.24 for the OE which is a considerable saving on Dealer price and $7.20 for aftermarket.
The price difference between OE (made in Italy) and aftermarket (made somewhere in the far east) is the OE fits perfectly and lasts longer.

The cost from our Jag forum sponsor is still double the cost of the Jag dealer I have an email to.

I have some aftermarket Chinese caps on 2 of my wheels, (the original caps tabs broke off) and within a few months they are faded and not shiny anymore, while the 2 original OEM still look good. I'd like to get a set of red caps, but am too cheap to spend that kind of money on something so trivial, especially now that I know OEM is the way to go.
The only one that would ever notice the difference is me.

Update on center caps
The caps I received from the Orlando Jag dealer where the ones with ‘Jaguar’ spelled out across them. They were not the Growler.
After biting the bullet I bought 4 from Jag dealer in Harrisburg Pa at 34.00 ea...ouch.
To my dismay I had forgot to check this place out prior as I did get the 2 floor mat retainers like new from them delivered for 8$. In US they are 11-13$ each.

They have them for 25$ each delivered.
