Where can I get some center caps that fit?

Post by Mopar65 » Fri Apr 10, 2009 3:17 pm

Well because I can't afford to buy new rims Im going to make mine look as good as they can. Im going to paint them black and leave the lip silver, as well as taking of the center caps. Here are a few shots without the current centers. Basically what I want are small centers just to cover the open hole and allow the lug nuts to be shown like in the pic with out the centers. Where can I get some and how do I know what size to get? Thanks

Good luck with that. You'd probably have more luck going to a local hardware store or Lowes or something and find a 1 1/4" chrome cap for a faucet or something of that nature. I know it sounds kinda' "redneck-ish", but that's probably your only option.

Im not a fan either, but I put about a grand into her this past year and don't have extra monies for new rims right now. Im just trying to make the best of what I got and they came with the car, I didnt buy them. They are prolines, like from sears lol

See if they have alternate caps from different wheels that they make. Most wheel manufacturers will use the same size cap to cut on costs. Prolly not a cheap option, but might be worth a shot.

But your prolly going to spend $100, so the faucett cap is looking damn sexxxy.
