What is the ID of your center hole? Would these be useable on other wheels?

Cost? Part number?

I was hoping that they might work for the stock N90 wheels, but no such luck since the center hole measures 2 5/16".
It might have made a nice addition.

Now the ZR5 wheels. The center hole appears to be correct. I measure the spring clip to be about 2 1/2". The recesses for the bolt circle are beyond the overall 3" cap diameter, so it will also work in this respect.
However. The ZR5 hub cap has a plastic tab , or "pin" , so that it does not rotate. This "pin" goes into a hole and the hole is outside the 3" diameter of the proposed hub cap.

If there was a way to mask, or fill the hole , then they just might work.

I see some other caps there as well.

I wonder if the LSX caps would work for the stock N90's?

What about the "Brushed Stainless finish! Camaro SS Fits:17" x 9" 10 spoke wheels" caps? They would look cool on the ZR5 wheels 8)

Well the Camaro SS caps do fit the ZR5 wheels :mg:

Much nicer for cleaning the wheels too.

The first set of caps took several attempts to get a set at a reasonable price. The supply must be meeting the demand now. I picked up a set for $10 this time :mg:

I only need one cap for the spare, but I'll have three spares now.

these really do work well. They are easier to clean, stay tight, and are less likely to be stolen since they need to be pushed out from behind. There is just nothing to grab from the outside.
The latter was my reason for adding one on my spare. I though about just putting the stock cap on there, but it would have been just too easy to pop off and stuff in a pocket.

I found the same thing.
The chrome ones are gone and I don't find them domed. That's a bummer.
Closest I found was a set that is flat and says "Adventure".

Image

They are chrome.
I am going to need a set for the trailer and would like them to match the truck.

Has anyone tried the flat caps?
All they really say is OD 3". They are listed to fit the Camaro wheels. That should mean they will fit ours. I have spacers on the front and rear , so axle shaft end is a non-issue for me.

Good to know. I'm going to try these. That way the trailer and truck will match. I will have wheel adapters on the trailer and do have spacers on the truck, so hub clearance should not be a problem.

Put them on yesterday. They fit tight. Nice. I like them.
I'm going to sell all my other caps to offest the new ones and recover some expenses for trailer wheels.

Ebay. As near as I can tell they are no longer available. You can find one on ebay now and then. They were also sold by SLP , or branded that I think. I have seen the silver painted ones out there. Now the flat caps are still around. That is the direction that I went.
