I was looking on tinternet other day for some wheel nut covers - found a site called Performance Alloys ( I think but google wheel nut covers and you will find it) set of 20 covers in either chrome or black chrome - well cheap but cannot remember the price!! bout 15 squidish and includes a tool to remove them (although it looks flimsy)

I got mine from a guy on here, must have been in 2006 just after I got the bike. It is machined in ally with an O ring on it to make it a positive fit.
I think Boxer Design & Wunderlich do them as well.

Covers off a VW Jetta will fit nicely as well...

'fraid not mate. Was on the bike when I bought it. I agree it is nice and it acts as quite a good anti-theft device. To remove the wheel you have to prize out the recessed badge which is attached by velcro.There's an almost invisible slot where you can just insert a small screwdriver. Underneath there is a cap-screw that has to be removed before the cover can be removed to expose the wheel nuts. Perhaps a fellow trixter will recognise it and can tell us more?

I'm wondering if it's the centre from a car alloy

It is very similar, but not quite the same as the one I had on my old 11S, I bought mine from streetfighters.com via ebay, they had about 5 of them only, and were a one off production run ( not enough interest apparently )
I sold mine on to Ruffy, don't know if he still has it?

Measure before you buy i have not checked size

I see what you mean Dai. Mine has quite a long(1.5"?), hollow boss in the centre that fits into the middle of the wheel.

All the ones i looked at have been too big but a BMW badge on another make may be what it is

Then again it's probably bespoke as it's quite possibly easier to make one from scratch than bodge one to fit
