if you check there according to vehicle type you will see that both Safari and Scorpio currently have only one option as of now since both come with 16 inch rims. This is the one I bought (F11665) (5 spoke). I am not sure about whether the cap type or size can be changed to a different type.

I do know however that around 2005-2006 etc Aura used to give Metallic Aluminium Coloured ABS Plastic Hubcaps with their Alloy wheels, which are what I got when I bought the alloys for my old vehicle. Sometime from early 2007 or thereonwards, they started giving Aluminium/ Metal hubcaps like I have now got for my new vehicle.

a little earlier - maybe 2-3 years ago, I think that the Safari and Scorpio used to come sometimes with 15 inch rims - maybe specific owners preferred to change to 15 inch rims - I dont know.
see the attached pic of an older Scorp that usually parks next to my office - Ive seen its tyres and they are 215/75 R 15 same as my Bolero, which probably explains why he is using the same alloys as I had on my Bolero as you can see from the pics. the new Scorp which I picked up has 235 70 R 16 tyres and the only option in Alloys that are right now avble from Aura are the ones I ve fixed.

However, the options for those customers that were available in 15 inches - Model Numbers: D 2560 (6 spoke)which was 15 inches tall x 6 inches wide and B1560 (5 spoke) also 15 inches tall x 6 inches wide. B 1560 was what I had put in my Bolero - because the Bolero comes normally with 15 inch rims only.

Safari Vx alloys like Scorpio Vlx are probably customized OEM alloys - probably by Aura themselves since they are an OEM supplier to Tata and Mahindra also - I dont know whether these companies have more than one OEM supplier for alloy wheels.
Now you have got me confused and .
I very disctinctly remember that my friend's alloy (CRDe Lx) having the MM logi on the hub-cap. He go the alloys from the dealer (Bora Auto).

I am really
