Default Correct GM Spyder Wheel Center Caps?

In 2010 I purchased from “Factory Reproduction, Inc.” a set of “Spyder ZO6” Chrome Wheels for my standard C6. They are really stunning and I would like to enhance them with a set of GM C6 Center Caps. Does anyone know the GM part number that will correctly fit these wheels?


Gm has about six different part numbers. Seems the mounting tube/collets have different lengths. I’m only interested in genuine GM, i.e. I don’t want decals. Any help would be appreciated and Thanks, Dave

I was able to buy GM centers for my WCC aftermarket chromed wheels a few years ago through Gene at GMPartsHouse.com. You might want to give him a try.

I bought mine from West Coast Corvettes and paid a hefty price for them. About $130 I believe. However, I would not do business with WCC again.

I'll call them next week, and will be careful. Thanks, Dave.

The ONLY reason I didn't get the Spiders was because of the centers. I could have a "decal" to put on, or paid a big price for one's that already had a decal. That was nuts! I wantd an embossed with the C6 logo centers like the wheels I had bought from WCC before. I had no problems with their wheels ( had a set on my C5 too) or service. The problem was, nobody makes the embossed centers. The decals ALL wear out or peel off and look like crap after a while. So, I bought deep dish ZO6 style wheels with embossed centers just like my C6 WCC wheels had. Why no one makes them is beyond me? Just a heads up.

Did you ever find the center caps? I have been searching as well (I have the same wheels). If you have found them can you send me the info of who to call, part # and price. Also how did they fit any issues. Did you pop them off from the front or have to remove the wheel?

Feel free to call me if you like 843-614-2307Connor

Default Center caps

I would NOT do business with that west coast company ever again.
That is my opinion for what it is worth.

Default centers

I bought my centers from House of Wheels, they came in plastic bags with the GM part number. As I remember they were about $130.They look great on my wheels.

It must be for GM licensing issues. I had the same problem with center caps when I bought c5 chrome repo wheels. I finally found some raised C5 stick on decals, and they looked great and stood up perfectly. I would have to look around to try and find where I bought them from, if anyone was interested..
