chrome center caps

I am at a loss here. I have a restored 65 chevy truck with the later model running gear under it (1983). Anyway I bought a set off allumiumn rims for it and cant find chrome center caps for this rim. It is an allumiumn modular rim with the holes around it. The center opening is 3 and 5/8 inches Does anybody have a clue where I might find the center caps this size. I have tried lmc,ebay and some other sights online.

Re: chrome center caps

If it is the factory forged (or cast) aluminum rim than it uses the same center caps as the rally wheel.

Re: chrome center caps

Thise look like my centerlines lol. I jus got some off fleabay. Measure your inside hub hole to make sure they'll fit. They're generic ones so no markings but get the job done they're out there just search center caps

Re: chrome center caps

THe wheels look like american racing outlaw 2's. Here's some possible caps on evilbay that come close to your measurement.

Or check out this guy. He could likely get you set up.

Re: chrome center caps

How do you feel about the early 90's center caps held on by the lug nuts? Could try that route?

Either that or if you have some rally center caps, you can drill and tap those rims and screw on the rally caps.

Also, Cprts60 had some similar wheels on his square bodies and got some hub cap clips so he could run stock hub caps on the wheels.
