If you’re looking for Range Rover alloy wheel centre caps without paying over £200 for a set of four at the main dealer, you’ve found the right place. These aftermarket LR173024 caps are £27.95 for a full set with UK delivery included – that’s a saving of over £170.
The Problem with Genuine Land Rover Centre Caps
Anyone who owns a Range Rover knows the pain of Land Rover parts pricing. A simple set of four alloy wheel centre caps – basically small plastic badges that clip into your wheels – costs over £200 from a main dealer. For what’s essentially a cosmetic part that you could lose in a car wash or have nicked from a car park, that’s ridiculous money.
The 2022 L460 SV Range Rover uses the LR173024 design, but the good news is that the 63mm size has stayed consistent across virtually every Range Rover and Defender model for the past 30 years. That means whether you’re driving a brand new L460 or a P38A from the 90s, the same centre caps fit.
In the video below, we explain exactly why we decided to bring these centre caps to market and how they compare to the genuine Land Rover parts:
Which Range Rovers and Defenders Do These Centre Caps Fit?
These 63mm centre caps are compatible with all Range Rover and Defender models that use the standard wheel cap size. That includes:
- Range Rover (L460) 2022 – present
- Range Rover (L405) 2012 – 2021
- Range Rover (L322) 2001 – 2012
- Range Rover (P38A) 1994 – 2001
- Range Rover Sport (L461) 2022 – present
- Range Rover Sport (L494) 2013 – 2022
- Range Rover Sport (L320) 2004 – 2013
- Range Rover Evoque (L551) 2018 – present
- Range Rover Evoque (L538) 2011 – 2018
- Range Rover Velar (L560) 2017 – present
- Defender (L663) 2020 – present
Compatible Land Rover Part Numbers
These aftermarket centre caps replace the following genuine Land Rover part numbers:
- LR173024
- LR094546
- LR089428
- LR069899
- LR069900
- LR011487
If your Land Rover came with any of these part numbers originally, these aftermarket caps will fit perfectly. The clips are identical, the dimensions are spot-on, and the finish matches the OEM specification.
What About Aftermarket Alloy Wheels?
These centre caps are designed specifically for genuine Land Rover alloy wheels. If you’ve fitted aftermarket alloys to your Range Rover or Defender, you’ll need to check compatibility first. Measure the centre cap recess on your wheels – it should be 62-63mm in diameter. If it is, these will fit. If it’s a different size, they won’t.
Most aftermarket wheel manufacturers use their own centre cap sizes, so don’t assume these will work unless you’ve measured or you know for certain that genuine Land Rover caps fit your wheels.
Why Are Aftermarket Centre Caps So Much Cheaper?
The aftermarket exists because manufacturers like Land Rover charge extortionate prices for simple parts. They’ve got a captive market – if you want genuine parts, you’ve got no choice but to pay whatever they’re asking.
Aftermarket manufacturers produce parts to the same specifications and often use the same factories that make components for other car brands. The difference? They can’t stick a Land Rover badge on them and they’re not sold through the official dealer network. That means no massive markup, no dealer commission, and no paying for the privilege of the Land Rover name.
The quality is identical. Same materials, same manufacturing processes, same dimensional accuracy. The only thing missing is the Land Rover logo – which, let’s be honest, nobody can see once they’re fitted to your wheels anyway.
Are These Fake or Counterfeit Parts?
No. There’s an important distinction here. Counterfeit parts are illegal copies that pretend to be genuine manufacturer parts – they’ll have fake logos, fake packaging, and they’re trying to deceive you.
Aftermarket parts are legitimate alternatives made by independent manufacturers. They don’t pretend to be Land Rover parts. They’re sold as compatible replacements, which is completely legal under UK and EU law.
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 specifically protects your right to use aftermarket parts on your vehicle without invalidating your warranty, as long as those parts don’t directly cause any damage. It’s the same principle as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act in the United States.
Why Aren’t These Available on Amazon or eBay?
Here’s where it gets frustrating. Even though aftermarket parts are completely legal and legitimate, Land Rover regularly forces Amazon and eBay to remove listings for aftermarket Range Rover parts by claiming they’re “counterfeit.”
They’re not counterfeit – they’re clearly sold as aftermarket alternatives – but Land Rover has the legal muscle to get listings pulled anyway. It’s anti-competitive behaviour designed to protect their parts monopoly, but there’s not much anyone can do about it.
That’s why you won’t find these centre caps on the major marketplaces. They have to be sold directly, away from platforms where Land Rover can interfere.
What Do You Get for £27.95?
You receive a complete set of four centre caps with the clips already fitted, ready to be pushed straight into your alloy wheels. They’re brand new, not refurbished or second-hand. The finish is identical to the OEM parts – the same colour, texture, and quality.
Delivery within the UK is included in the price. If you’re ordering from overseas, international shipping is available at an additional cost.
Compare that to over £200 from a Land Rover main dealer for exactly the same thing, and the choice is obvious.
How to Fit Range Rover Centre Caps
Fitting is simple – you don’t need any tools. The caps just push into the centre of each alloy wheel until they click into place. If you’re replacing old caps, pull the old ones out first (they might need a bit of persuading if they’ve been on for years), then push the new ones straight in.
Make sure the clips on the back of the cap are clean and undamaged before fitting. Line up the cap with the wheel centre, apply even pressure, and push firmly until you hear it click. Give it a gentle tug to make sure it’s secure.
