Custom center caps for 5 lug truck rally wheels
My Dad and I make these center caps from time to time. Just an idea he had a few years ago to be a bit different. We take the flat Corvette style centers (what I call "5 word centers" ) and adapt them to fit the truck rally style center cap. These caps sit flush with the top just like the truck style rally centers, they don't stick out or whatever. It just changes the look of the traditional rally cap slightly and actually looks almost factory. Everywhere I go I have people asking me where I got them.
We take the original style metal GM centers (good ones) and polish the chrome, then repaint the silver base around the lugs in the correct argent silver. Put the caps together and recess the back side of the front ones to fit around your front dust caps. They sit flush with the wheel surface just like the originals. The last sets we made up went very quickly. We have a few available again, so just let me know if you'd like a set. If you have good original caps, I'd even take them for cores (just buy them back from you) if you wanted to sell them. Most of the original style centers are faded nowdays and new replacements are very expensive if you can find them. These are not just 'drill a hole and put the cap on' they have been modified to work, sit flush and look original. $200/set plus shipping. The new GM Reproduction 5 word centers are $75 plus the cost of the caps, sourcing them, then the time it takes to make them. We're not making a mint on these, just trying to make it worth the time it takes to make them up. Let me know if you'd like a set or have questions. I'll be happy to send more pictures or whatever you need. Thanks ** Currently sold out, I will have a ew more sets available in a few days. Not expecting payment before I have them in hand, but I will. I just didn't know what kind of response we'd get. I have them on the 67-72 side too but I think more guys run rallies on the squares. I thought you guys mike like them. Definitely kinda different .. people will ask you about them for sure. The top of the 6 lug caps are bigger diameter and wont work like the 5 lug caps. Lemme know
