I'm wanting to fit a set of banded steel wheels with chrome hub caps to my old Hiace with pcd 5x114.3 The hiace wheels don't have the big chrome hubcaps. I was thinking some old vw or mercy ones but they don't have the correct pcd. Anyone got any suggestions? Thinking something like this:  |

That's equivalent to 5x4.5 which is a pretty common American fitment. Should be smoothies and caps available in a choice of sizes.

What he said ^^^ I ordered my smoothies and caps from them, great service. They can be ordered chrome or in primer, hubcaps are chrome and ordered separate. I ordered mine in primer and had them powder coated chrome for my Sapporo...  |

It wasnt cheap, but if you want them a different colour like in the first photo you posted then order them in primer and paint yourself. You can get a good finish with rattle cans and a little patience, for the cheapness. I had them powder coated chrome, instead of buying chrome in the first place, because it's easier to clean and keep in order. |
