What do these center caps fit????
I won this auction a while back: Corvette Grand Sport Hub Caps (NEW)
Well, guess what. They don't fit Grand Sport wheels. The outside diameter is correct, but the inside is not. These are for wheels with a smaller center hole than GS wheels. In other words, they fit the hole in the wheel flush but won't snap in. they just fall out.
They are GM caps with this part number on the back 14046926
Didn't some of the early 16" wheels have black center caps?
I would like to find out what they fit so I can at least resell them.
Thanks,
Steven :seeya

Didn't early C4's have black center caps? Maybe those are what they are for?

That's a late model (91+) C4 logo. Why would a C4 built prior to 91 have that logo for the wheels and other logos on the car itself? :confused: :confused:
Do they have the wire snap ring in place on the backside of the cap?
Early C4
Late C4

No snap ring. They pop in just like the center caps in my wheels now, just the overall diameter of the teeth is about 1/4" smaller.

I wonder if the center hole is a different size on sawblades than on the GS wheels?

Re: What do these center caps fit???? (Blue 92)
Blue92 has a point about the emblems. If they fit the hole but won't stay, I'm wondering if they aren't for an aftermarket wheel? Or are they GM and you're trying to put then in an aftermarket wheel? All the possibilities haven't been listed.
Sorry, you stated they are GM caps. So I guess that only leaves, what type of wheel are you trying to use them in?

Re: What do these center caps fit???? (ZBRA)
I'm wondering if they are caps for the early C4 wheels that have been re-labeled with the late C4 logo. Is the logo a stick-on?
Doesn't one of the posters above state that the part number you listed is for an early C4?

They could be wrong, but the pic on Eckler's site shows the same caps as your ebay pic. They should be for GS. :confused:
