Berlingo wheels

[John Bilko]

I am going to remove the wheel trims from my steel wheels because on my other Berlingo when I took them off the rust was horrific.  However, I need centre caps for the steel wheels.  Can anyone tell me what or where to get them from apart from the usual like eBay etc.

Correct.  The trims have done the damage already.  Also, there is the build up of detritus.  However, I intend to deal with the rust which is where the trims have "gripped" the wheel and then spray the wheels probably with a chrome finish.  After that the trims remain off which is what I meant.

From experience I would advise you are wasting your time.

I have to disagree.  My diesel Berlingo wheels were wrecked by the trims.  I have pressure washed the wheels then using dremel type sanding bands removed the rust.  The rust spots were at about 8cm intervals.  Then after meticulous cleaning I sprayed the rims with a rust preventing black spray.
