Comp PD1880 hubcaps?

Hello Umbertob,

Your truck is beautiful - wow, what a gorgeous color and looks incredible in the black trim and new wheels/tires.

It will look awesome with a black rack! What an awesome LR4!!!

You are making me possibly want red

Wow....looks awesome.
Let us know what happens with the hubcaps...
I am envious of your sidewalls (yes, what a weird thing to say). Hardly a day goes by without cursing mine...i really don't like the soccer mom look (apologies to soccer moms, my wife included!)

on my compo wheels, i bought these caps and sprayed it flat black to match. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Land-Range-...es&fits=Model:LR4&hash=item4cfdab8d87&vxp=mtr

fits perfectly snug on the wheel. The other cap mentioned here has a glossy look and to me, didn't match the purpose of these wheels.

Red looks gorgeous!

For now I've attached the glossy black ones with a bead of non-hardening gasket-maker silicone sealant we use for espresso machines repairs on each of the 6 plastic clips behind the caps... The sealant seems to be holding them in place (I've had them on for about a week now) and they should pop out fairly easy when required because of the type of silicone I used.

Meanwhile, Compomotive suggested the same caps as the ones you linked above, they even offered to sell me a set real cheap as apparently those are the caps they designed their wheel around. I guess there is a substantial difference in clips diameter between those and the other ones out there. As soon as I lose mine while wheeling , I might follow your lead and paint a set of those flat black as well. They may even look better than the glossy ones. Thanks.

Thanks for this info. I just pulled the trigger on black compomotive rims today and will make sure i pick up those center caps.

FYI, BP Utah sells those silver caps for just $8/ea: http://www.bputah.com/Disco 2 Acc/rcd2wc.htm

Looks awesome umberto. Apologize if I missed it, but I assume that those are 275/60-18's? I had the 265 Yoko's on my prior LR3, and thought they were a great all-around AT.
