new center caps wont fit my rallys - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

so i got these new center caps from wheel vintiques, they are suppose to fit stock wheels but i cant get them to fit my wheels. they are on my 84 c-10 with stock 15" rallys. any one seen this before?

Thats because those are for passenger car rallies not the truck rallies. Car center caps snap on while the truck rallies bolt on.

83c10wit454 · 05-01-2013, 09:51 PM

well that really sucks cuz man do they look good even half on. so are there any other center caps that you can use on these wheels besides stock ones?

Someone else might know what they are called, but I've seen clips that attach to truck rallies that allow the car rally centercaps to snap on. Seen them on ebay several times.

i tried those exact same caps on my vette style rally wheels and they did not fit even though they were supposed to.

Those are obviously not correct for an outer lip style wheel. As mentioned above they are for older vehicles and snap in and nor around. Send them back.

the only other caps i've seen used out other that stock are 88-98 steel wheel caps

Anyone seen or used these clips before? I really like the smoothie look but don't want to buy different wheels.

I have a set of 5 of those and a pair of similar ones that fit... lol

The only (not hokey) way I see to make them fit would be to slit the outer in a couple spots and bend the lips out... However, there would be a minor gap around the centercap.

***Edit, I forgot I scrapped the ones that didn't fit (like pictured) as I went to get some measurements. The outer lip on the pair that do fit is 7-5/8" which was ~1/4" larger than the ones that didn't fit. I tried them on an assortment of wheels and they didn't fit any of them (hence the scrapping...)

Is there a clip like that to hold dog dishes to an 88+ style wheel with no nubs?

83c10wit454 · 05-03-2013, 08:49 AM

Well dang that looks like what I need, pretty pricey though I could almost buy new wheels for that. Do you think you could get with using just a few on each wheel or does it take 5 per wheel?
