| I like how it looks now, but that's just me
Would some dog dish bowtie ones from a van or 2wd truck work? | |

| Isnt that the style Matt (Trakker) posted up the center caps for? I LOVED that setup. Might not be the best for winter, but if the parts are sub-par, winter wont hurt them. | |

| It was pretty easy, the cost was the biggest thing really. The problem is the eBay auction pages of where I got all the stuff from are long gone now so I'm not 100 percent on what I actually bought anymore! I think it's 12mm dual thread (thread on the outside) lugnuts that are 1.5 and take a 3/4 hex socket/wrench, and C5 Corvette lug caps. | |

Look at this thread for GasTT & Matt Trakker pics https://badass-of-ne.forumotion.com/t1939-center-caps-and-trim-rings-for-civi-wheels?highlight=wheels very interesting read... but i am not commited to that much work. I will keep searching for something that is a bolt-on and not a custom fab deal.
-ALF out... Uummmm....they are bolt on Centercaps, lug with outer threads, plastic cap to cover...done
then I'm just cheap... Centercaps, lug with outer threads, plastic cap to cover sounds like more than $20-30 i spent 200... $50 is 25% added to the total price of this unplanned project..... i can handle 10-15% maybe the Cadet57 guy will have a price ? -ALF out.... | |

| Yeah, I def. had some coin into all the stuff I bought, but it was all brand new stuff including the centers, which were the biggest thing of all of them. I just really wanted that look. | |

| sounds reasonable.... now..... I live on RT. 159 2 miles south of 6 flags. over the border. is there a place in the middle we can meet so neither of us has to drive to far? i think that saves us the price and hassle of shipping... whata ya think? -ALF out.... | |
