Default Center Cap Emblems

I have been looking for emblems to use on the wheels I have. The car has ARE wheels with the simulated knock-off center caps. The ARE logo in the center measures 2 7/8 inchles in diameter and I want to replace this with a C4 logo. Has anyone seen this? I have been looking for sometime and I can't find a C4 logo that big. Maybe we can get them made up for other members to use on their cars.

Yup, Ecklers, Corvette Central, etc. No one has anything I can use.

Wait a minute. As suggested above, the caps for the 84 thru 87 (at least) are almost exactly that size. I just measured the black ones that I put on my Riken wheels. You should be able to use the stock caps and work with them to make em fit.

Are they decals? Where did you get them?

Definately not decals. Very hard plastic, etched design. A little pricey but worth it as you only have to buy them once...unless of course you lose one. Here's the link for Mid America....

Check Ebay for Decal Specialties Ebay store (Ebay seller: 91zr1). They have center cap decals.

Carefull!!!

The ZR-1 wheels have a larger size HOLE the center cap snaps into than does the Turbine wheel for example.

The hard plastic emblems from Mid America wont work, I tried to fit one already and at $50 each, my wife would shot me! I emailed a couple of decal guys on ebay to see if they can make them for. Basically I need a decal that looks like Mid America emblem to place over or replace the ARE emblem in the center cap now.

I emailed 91zr1 and he has ones that are 2 5/8 inches at the widest point. They might work. But I found a site that will do custom wheel center cap decals. While they cant do the C4 emblem because of copyright laws, I can get one made that says "Z51". And they'll cut it to the right size for me!

If anyone else is interested, here's the site: http://www.edecals.com/index.html
