Can anybody show me a pic of any centre caps for Ercos or centrelines I think they both share the same size hole?
Thanks....

Erco never had a center cap, but you might be able to use those nipple caps that were made for centerlines back in the day

4-lug or 5-lug?

4-lugs have a 3.25" hole, therefore, many generic centre caps will fit.

5-lug is a larger hole...not sure the diameter.

Ok here are my wheels Ercos front and rear I purchased just ONE cap to see what it would look like?
Opinions please also remember although they do stick out at the front the beam is 4" narrowed so they wont pass the wing edge
