Center Caps

Where can I find factory replacements for rally wheel center caps?

Re: Center Caps

I'd say ebay or check with any of the common vendors like LMC for some repops.


Have you ever thought of going to the late model caps on them?

Re: Center Caps

I like those better, what year are those off of? Also do those just fit right on?

88-98 GM trucks. Easiest way to install them is to use 'conversion' lug-nuts. These are acorn style lug-nuts w/external threads so the factory black lug-nut covers can thread onto the lugs (which secures the caps in place).

An alternative is to tap the back of the caps & screw in some screws through the original mounting holes ralleys had for the older 73-87 caps.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Center Caps

They are off of the 88-98 sport truck wheels. Then I found a guy to makes different colored decals for the centers.

Installation is pretty simple. They are attached from the back side. There are little tabs on the back of the caps you can thread a screw into, you put the screws on from the back of the wheel going thru the hole in rally for the bolt that hold on the earlier style cap.

They are off wheels like these...

Re: Center Caps

I've looked at replacement centres through LMC, Brother's etc and they want $30 for EACH centre. That can't be right can it? All they are is a decal.
