    Just bought a set of used 3 piece rims for my 348 and the center caps need replacing,however they are not the standard size
    they are 60mm in diameter.
    Have tried numerous Ferrari parts suppliers but they cannot help me.
    Does anyone know where I can get these from????

    There is a guy at the FCA site in the classified that runs this ad. The word "custom" may mean he can do odd sizes. Worth checking out?

    Custom cavallino wheel centers for stock Ferrari wheels. Fly yellow metal centers, sculptured 1-1/2” chrome horse. Replace the “plastic” look. Matches nose badge and Scuderia shields exactly in color. Will snap fit into all stock Ferrari wheels using original black housing.

    Question..what is the best way to get the caps back in to the black housing? Do you have to take the wheels off first?

    I bought two sets. They are beautiful. I just got them but haven't mounted them. I order a set of custom HRE Carbon wheels, so now only need one set of the custom centers. Send me a PM if you're interested in buying the extra set.

    I was lucky to notice that one of my center plastic wheel caps was about to fall off and started trolling the board to figure out how to get it back on (after I questioned how on earth that thing could fit in the space provided without breaking the cap itself). During my search I didn't encounter much more than taking the wheel off, using waxed dental floss, and other less than perfect solutions. So I tried something "new" (if you already figured it out and didn't post it...shame on you!). I took a hair dryer and heated up the black cup in the center of the wheel for 30 seconds and the cap snapped right in. Once it cooled down the plastic memory shrank it back to size and the cap is now snugly held in place...been driving w/o incident.
