What do you call the bearing cover in the wheel hub?

On the back wheels once you have the wheel off there is the cover for the nut that holds the drum on to the stub axel - what do you call them?

And say you had lost them (oops) where would you get them, ideally around Glasgow?

Cheers,

David.

Depends what part of the country your from mate to what they get called, here they are known as hub caps, elsewhere I have heard them being called hub nut covers/caps.

Scrap yard is probably the best bet aswel
