You can buy Chevy emblem stickers and just place them over the 4x4 emblems. There are a few different size cap stickers so make sure you get the right size if you go that route.

I might just do that, rite now i have some aluminum saw-blade wheels , but hopefully when i get the truck painted ill put the rallys with some white walls...... i really like these rally wheels because you can just paint them to match the color of the truck and it gives it a good look

I bought some years ago at Chevy dealer, they were bigger in diameter, but same thin aluminum as 4x4 emblems. I used 4x4 as pattern and trimmed them down for a perfect fit. They looked so good someone left my Chevy on blocks.

Re: Rally wheel find ????

Those bolts for the center caps are 5/16 x coarse self-tapping.
Original wheels only have 3 of the holes used,so the other 3 shouldn't have threads.
After being removed/re-installed several times the threads will strip.

Yes, a standard 5/16" coarse tap will work.
Note-I bought my 82,Silverado 4x4 new and I've used all the holes!
They strip pretty easy!
