Where to get alloy wheel centres

I personally would hold off until the end of time rather than order anything from China!
I can't be the only one that is sick of inferior quality, substandard goods that are rarely fit for purpose and never made to last?
I hope now we are independent having left the EU and once this Corona situation is over that as a nation we will take the decision to invest in our own country and strive to make it great again!
We were renowned world over for having the best engineers and craftsman but everyone seems to have given up on quality and sold their souls to China, accepting the rubbish they send us, making them very rich to the detriment of each and every one of us, the world economy and the environment.
I personally would never fit anything substandard to any of my cars and won't be buying anything from China ever if I can help it and would urge others to do the same.

My apologies if this is inappropriate or I have spoke out of turn but at this time it just hit a nerve.

Stay well everyone.

Rant over!

Could not agree more @A2Z . Beside OEM integrity, I am proud that my A2 has not one single China-made aftermarket part installed, never will. Nothing against China per se, it's just that the A2, like many other vintage or modern classic cars, represents the pinnacle of European manufacturing quality, so I really don't see any reason to dilute or b*****dize this achievement for few quids less. Buy cheap, buy twice....
 
I bought a set of these:


I was a bit unsure but they arrived as promised and they also appear to be OEM. When I bought them I didn't have the time to trawl through all the rubbish on ebay so it was a leap of faith. I now have plenty of time to trawl through ebay but can't afford to buy anything anymore!

TT
 
I think there will always be room for the cheap products - centre caps for wheels is one of things for me, considering i keep losing them with the bloody insane potholes, like driving on the moon with all the craters.

But items you want to last the buy cheap buy twice rings true most of the time, which includes most car parts really, you don't want cheap plastic bits in interior which you always touch (steering wheel etc.) and especially mechanical bits, even more so anything that could put you in danger, like Brake pads etc. it might be fun for a beater to get one of the 90£ turbos from china that you know will blow any time anyway and it is for a play, but anything daily you want to be reliable.
