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

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.
