Default Center Caps

Were aluminum center caps ever produced. i have a set of zr1 rims and i polished them. Now i am in desperate need of some polished center caps whether they are for a corvette or have nothing on them or even they are aluminum and need to be polished. I dont think the chrome ones will match too good. If anyone has suggestions or a line on any that would be great.

This may or may not help, but the last time that I was down at Exotic Muscle, they had a bunch of packaged center-caps hanging on the wall.

im pretty sure you can get them without a logo.... all you gotta do is get a small logo and stick it to them, they will look pretty right

Personally, I ran the chrome center caps, with chrome lug nuts, on my polished wheels and thot they looked good...

bobbie, keep watch on ebay, center caps show up regularly from private parties pretty reasonable when we are cleaning out our garages. I have a set of chrome center caps, new, for sawblades, that I listed for $20 and didn't get a single bid.
