I'm trying to find a way to fit the nipple syle centercap like on a baja wheel onto my chromies. Something like these http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ACC%2DC10%2D6574 but for stock chromies. Can anyone help?

This question was asked and answered either elsewhere here or another forum.

The answer was a surprise!

Evidently the metal used on those center cones is soft enough that you can put it in place and tighten your stock chromie wide five wheel right down over it and it'll bend and conform to the five "ears" on the wheel where the bolts go . . . no problem ! ! !

Makes sense in a way, the mounting surface of a wheel, where the lugs go, would HAVE to be stronger than the simple stamped metal of those centers.

Anyway. look no further, you've already found what you're looking for.
