Re: Slot lovers unite!

I have a question for all the 8 luggers out there, what are you doing for center caps?

I have a set of 8 lug slots that i purchased here on the forum i just had polished and am searching for center caps.

I was told when i purchased them that they were a set but the polisher said one is a different manufacture, it has a slightly larger bore (1/16" larger) and about 1/4" different offset. I have verified the bore difference before sending to the polisher but not the offset, not super concerned about that now.

My bores measure:
3) measure's @ 4.8125
1) measure's @ 4.875

So far i have found a ton of caps at 5.15, and finally found some at 4.9 but sure not finding anything that matches my measurements. Guess i could have them machined but hate spending the money being as this will be a one time deal unless someone starts making the 16.5 tires again.

If you have ran into this and have a solution please share, thanks!
