Center Cap options for Rally wheels
 

Hello,

I have a 1966C10 with disc brakes with Chevy Rally wheels. I bought the rally wheel clips that were sold on eBay. What are my center cap options? I have the following set, which I believe are called Disc Brake Centers, but they do not fit due to the hub on the front rotor:

Do the Police caps work? I know the Sombrero work, but not sure I want to go that route.

Thank you.

I have the Police caps on my rally wheels and they fit but my wheels might be different than yours. I know that is a rear wheel photo but the fronts are the same.

Wheel Vintiques used to sell earlier Chevy caps that would retro-fit onto the 'corvette ralley' styled wheels. I think/recall '36, '49 & '52 caps were available (that fit like the derby caps) but you would have to verify to be sure. I purchased some that have been sitting in a box on a shelf for several (several :lol: ) years.

This is the wheel I am running. The wheel to end of dust cap is around 2 5/8".

Thank you.

Measurement...

If my hub sticks out roughly 2 3/4", will it fit with this center cap?

Thank you.

It really hard for me to tell The way that the Police caps attach to my wheels is allot different than using the clips

Re: Center Cap options for Rally wheels
 

Exactly. I know the caps I mentioned can work w/the clips you're using because I tried them. Not sure about the police caps as I didn't have any available to try @ the time.

You need to know the distance from the end of the spindle cap/seal to the center of the clip since that's where the caps will seat.

Here is the best photo I can find. The red arrows are pointing at the nubs that keep the caps in place. You can see that they are much further out than your clips. I think that the disk brake caps don't fit for the same reason.

Thank you. Yours are different. I think I need to be further out somehow

Re: Center Cap options for Rally wheels
 

Like this? If so, it is around 2".

Re: Center Cap options for Rally wheels
 

Yes. I'll grab the caps off the shelf & see what the depth is.

Re: Center Cap options for Rally wheels
 

One set was about 2" (#1004). The 2nd was deeper (#1017 @ 2.25 - 2.5/2.675").

I tried both of these cap styles w/those same SS clips you're using. This was on truck/van ralleys that were on my 90 & there was no interference. But, a 90 possibly has a different spindle hub/rotor height so earlier trucks could be taller which would yield less clearance.

Look through Wheel Vintiques catalog 'accessories' section for cap options.

I don’t mean to be negative but I don’t think you are going to find a police style cap that will work with that wheel.
