Center Caps, Beauty Rings
 
Okay, I have these old 15" rallies from before I put on my 22's and I was wanting to paint them black and put chrome Tri-Bar center caps on them. Does anyone know where I can find new ones that will fit these wheels? I could use some beauty rings too. My truck isn't a 4x4 but a PO slapped those ugly caps on there.

I really just want something pretty to slap on every once in a while... especially in the dirty winter months. I haven't had time to clean my wheels in a month and the chrome is looking pretty dirty.

Thanks. I've found quite a few places to get the rings, but none to get the center caps I want... anyone else have any ideas?

OK.....here you go:

CHEVY-SPINNER-KIT-KNOCK-OFFS-3-BAR-WHEEL-CENTER-CAPS

this looks about the same height as the OEM center caps? I was thinking take the knock off apart, put the stand under the center cap (with a center hole pre-drilled in it). Then just screw/bolt the knock off top thru the center cap to the mount? Or, do it the way they say (from behind :lol: )... and use a spacer?

What kind of shape are the 4x4 caps you have pictured in? May be interested in them, I have a 4x4.
Thanks

They're in horrible shape. I think I have 3/4 of them but the last one is missing the center part that says 4x4. That is about the nicest looking one.

Ps... I have 6 lug wheels remember. Not 5. Those only fit 4/5 lug.

then don't use the stand....use the standard center caps for the knock off stand... and drill the hole to mount the spinner on top?

The one that doesn't have any logo in the center, i.e., has a hole, should be for the front hub of a 4X4 truck to stick thru.

This is true... but it also means I have three caps for the rear and one front one =)

6-lug rallyes only came on 4wds.That`s why there are as many open caps as closed and they say 4x4 on them.Most guys find spinners and bolt them to the caps.I don`t think anyone makes a spinner center cap for 6-lug.

I'm with Special-K, I don't think anyone makes one. I wish someone would.
The biggest problem, the clearance/tolerance between the hub and the hole in the wheel is almost "zero." So a cap that would slide in from the rear like a lot of custom aftermarket wheels wouldn't work unless it's paper-thin. Whatever you find will have to bolt on from the outside of the wheel just like the stock ones.

Wheel vendors at most swaps has 'em. Around $ 75-100 should do it.
