CCW centercaps
I have a set of the regular CCW three piece classic wheels. I'd like to replace the plain Jane centercaps with something a little different. Does anyone happen to have any pics of a different centercap with this wheel? If not, maybe some suggestions of centercaps that might look good with that particular wheel? Thanks!

I brought my CCW center caps into work, and had one of my machinist friends machine a 0.015" recess into the center of the caps. I then applied the black, crossed flags emblem from the '78-'81 Corvette factory caps.

leadfoot, was the machined recess the same shape of the crossed flags emblem? Do you have a pic by chance?
The wheels are hub-centric so the centercap should be a standardized size. Worst case scenario, I can thumb through a few magazines until I find a centercap I like and see if I can order them direct from the manufacturer.

Tony, I don't have a digital camera, so unfortunately I can't post a picture. However, if you go to Eckler's site and search part number A2414A, it should bring up the emblem for the '78-'81 OE aluminum wheel emblem.
My machinist friend created a recess in my CCW hub caps that was the OD of these emblems, and just deep enough to give a "finished" look, as I set the emblems in place.
