thats the one. i lost it so use a socket hex instead but same thing
17mm is the diameter over the head of the nut, not the internal diameter

I'd ask them to measure the internal diameter of the cap, then you measure the external of you wheel nut.

those things fit over 17mm standard hex head wheel bolts. I nearly bought those, but bought hex shaped ones instead, that are grey and thought they were a better colour.
if the rounded cap heads you have are 17mm diameter, and those things fit over 17mm hex heads, then I see no reason why they wouldnt push over.
but you have to be carefull because those sets come with 4 covers to go over locking nuts and they are much bigger. maybe you could ask them to exchange the locking nut covers for normal ones for you.

just dont think they will grip properly as they are hex shaped underneath, be better if they went inside my bolts.
could judt buy new bolts and anti rust coat them then spray them black
might be easier

I might have the answer James 
There is a catch though. They are hard to buy in small batches and I was lucky enough to be sent 20 odd from a company for a 'sample'. They're vinyl caps and are 19.05mm ID and about 25mm long.
I can't remember exactly which company sent me them as it was awhile ago but I remember struggling to buy them. They do sell them but some places want a minimum order of 500 or 1000
Once on they are quite difficult to remove so where the 'nipple' is I drilled a small hole in the cap. I then got a pair of plastic forceps, the kind they use in hospitals for splinters etc... for use in removing them. The vinyl is quite tough and is obviously water proof. Except where the drilled hole is of course
PS: Daniel as said, ring Performance Wheels. I got 4 new Kei center caps for about £13-£15 delivered.

ill give them a try, they sell in minimum order of a tenner, so thats not too bad.
my bolt is 17mm across so ill try slightly biger as they will be tough.
if anyone wants any let me know and ill post some to you, cover postage only.
