    Hi Donna

    Do you mean “where to buy” a wheel cover for you to fit graphics too?
    Amazon, as shown in the attachment. I am sure eBay will do too.

    I can’t remember the last time we did one, but back then they were either a firm thin plastic shell-type thing that vinyl would easily stick to. or we would print onto Banner or truck-grade vinyl, which would be cut to a circle and fitted to the centre area of the soft stretch wheel cover sleeve.

    As much as I want to support UK manufacturers… I’d just look on Amazon or the like as the prices are sensible.

    I do a batch of 10-20 rigid backs for a customer each year, a landrover specialist.
    He told me he pays around £35+vat each for them, which I felt was reasonable.
    On his last delivery, I found a delivery note and contacted the manufacturer, I explained my business in brief and asked for trade a price list, they wanted nearly £90 for a single rigid back type and £60+ for the soft covers.
    I replied and said I was looking to resell them and needed a trade price list, they came back and said “Oh, we’ll give you 15% off those prices”.
    Needless to say, I didn’t bother buying any and got what appeared to be the exact same quality for about £25 on Amazon, with free delivery!

    We buy regularly from Amazon. 🙂

    Buy British yes, but “British manufactured”.
