hi folks,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. If not, my apologies.

I have a set of Baja SE/Marathon wheels and I'm not spending 200 bucks on the original center caps...Smile

Does anyone have suggestions on aftermarket or other options for hub/center caps?

Thanks,

Brett

I have Marathon wheels...when I found the 6 of them they had plastic center caps...I kept watching the adds. As soon as some showed up I was like OMG. She said she three of them 50 for all three. When they arrived there were 4. I was extremely happy about that. I found another one at a swap meet for 25. These are all in great non dented condition.
I know the pain of the Marathon wheel center caps...they are like gold.
Here is an add for some reasonable.

Does anyone know if the hub caps like these will fit the marathon?
