  View original topic: Center Cap HELP!!!
laug6615 Sat Jan 19, 2008 12:33 pm

Need some help. I have these old school style whels with center caps that bolt on from the outside, but no one wher I live in SC has or can find these. So I have come to everyone here that has a lot of resources in hopes of finding where I can get 4 of these. Any help would be great.

I have seen thease before when i was a kid my dad had a set on his gremiln. I think they are early american racing rims I am not sure tho

If it makes your search any easier they were made by Appliance; that capitel 'A' was their trademark. A search on eBay will turn up generic caps that will fit; maybe you could get some decals made to finish them off?

Not Appliance wheels, but readily available:

Any local wheel shop should have a set of universal plastic replacement caps instock.

Finding the caps was easy. Drilling out the busted screws will be the fun part!

A while back I got a set of hard to find four-ear center caps from an eBay seller named "torqthrust.terry". He specializes in old wheels and their accessories.
