Finally getting around to having my defender resprayed as the previous owner did a really rubbish job and to be honest if I don't do it now i'm going to be paying a huge amount more as the rot sets in. Anyway all the dents are scratches have been filled and sanded down, and all that's left to do it to put the new rear corner posts back on, and get it painted 
Anyway back to the subject at hand. As its in London and London folk want alloys on their cars for some reason, and I don't want to spend £150+ per wheel for defender ones I've managed to pick up a set of disco ones for a quite reasonable price especially as the previous owner fitted new rubber to them only for it to fail its MOT and then scrap it!
Obviously I can't fit the disco center caps without spending another £150+ on a set of spacers which I don't want to do.
Has anybody come across any after market center caps that stick out and hence will fit on the disco alloys when fitted to a defender? - Otherwise I'll just leave it with the caps off and paint the hub ends silver as well, as I only have three anyway!
