'71 and up ralleys, who make 6 lug center caps

I have a set of the "late" (71 and up) ralley wheels on my '69 2wd. These are the ones with the rectangular vent holes. Who makes a stock appearing center cap that is 6 lug? The wheels are 15 X 8 Wheelvintique wheels, but they only make 5 lug center caps for this wheel.



Any suggestions or fixes? I need something to cover the centers.

Thanks,
Mike D.

Use 4x4 center caps off later models like 73-87. they look the same except there six lug. You need the rear ones cause the fronts have holes trough the center.

Those are the center caps I have for mine. Never thought about the convex mirror though, thanks Andy.

Re: '71 and up ralleys, who make 6 lug center caps

I have used a set of newer caps .maybe 90-up You know the kind that are held on with a plastic nut over each lug. Only I didn't mount them that way. I removed three little plugs on the back and put a short screw(1/4'' threads) in them the screw has to have a shallow head too. I think I may have a pic of the 68 I had. If I find it I'll post it. Also I used regular chrome lugs. The lug wrench was able to get into it but I had to be careful not to let it drop much as it would touch the plastic.

Those funky full wheelcovers from`78-`85ish that have simulated lugs use a center trim the same size and has a bowtie.
You can use`88-up center caps that are smoother and lug bulky.The light 2500 2wds had them.

I can't find my pics anywhere. But I liked them because they didn't stick out as much aas the 4x4 ones.,
