Someone decided to half-inch my hub caps :curse:

The dealership sells them for DHS200... each :curse::curse:

Where's the best place to buy them from?

psss.. I have just 'acquired' a set of 4... interested?

only joking.

Yep Satwa, or if you can't bear the journey there, perhaps Ace or Carrefour for the non fashion conscious.

I used to spend quite a lot of time in Wiesbaden. NONE of the cars there have hub caps on. Bizarre - and yep, not particularly interesting..

or from Al wasl Road coming from Safa Park, turn right straight after the Iranian Hospital. That puts you straight on to one of the roads with all the shops on it.

Go in the morning for lightest traffic. Most of the shops there do shut in the afternoon 2-4/5pm.

get to the roundabout, the hotel is on your right hand side. Turn left into the old high street, stick in the left hand lane and take the first left opportunity, loads of little guys will come over to you asking what you want, you don't even have to get out of the car!! good luck.

the best place in town for car bits is deira.

Opposite the hyatt is an area which is basically a car souq, anything and everything for cars is there. The two streets, 1 facing the hyatt and the one behind arew the ones you want

Got em from the official dealer in the end - even though they quoted me 300 each three times, when I actually paid for them it was only 200 for 2

Ah well, not complaining!
