I've recently acquired some slot mag wheels that I wanna put on my 77 c/10 but idk where to look for the correct center caps. I dont know what brand they are either or if it matters. Anyone know where to look?

Having a better look at your rims, it seems the bolt pattern looks bigger than 5x5. Could just be my old eyeballs though!
How did you measure them?

**Palf70Step** · 12-22-2018, 11:38 PM

Measure the diameter of the inside of the wheel hub, then go on ebay and find the slide in center caps that will work

Yea I just didn't know what would have be original on them. John I may do that, ill try measuring first and check to see what I can find. I wasnt sure what was originally on them. But yes they came off of a 1976 chevy c10 so they are 5x5.

Nice!
You got the best variation w/ the dead on 5 on 5, not those "Oblong Fittall" pattern wheels.
But them babies are sure hard to balance!

Oh great lol that sounds about right. Guess I need to buy real good tires huh.

When I was a kid the local tire shop had a sign up in the showroom:
"Aluminum Wheels May Be Hard To Balance & May Vibrate But They NEVER Rust!"

Haha that's hilarious, I didn't realize they were hard to balance but oh well. I know a good tire balancer.
