Default replica wheel center cap decals?

what are you all doing for your replica wheel centers? i have just ordered the thin spoke wheels in triple chrome, but every picture i see has a blank chrome centercap.

where are you guys getting your decals for the centers? looking for the factory colors just to break up the chrome.

also, what size sticker would do the job?

thanks all

I have some 1 3/4 inch decals in chrome or black. You will want to confirm whether you have engraved emblems or not and if so measure the emblem.

I bought my center decals on eBay and they have been on there for over 2 years and haven't faded or come off.
If JW has what you are looking for I would buy from him, Great guy to deal with.

I have the logo's reproduced.They cost me $10 each .I have 12. I was going to have my wheels polished but I decided to buy the 50th Aniversary wheels instead,They have the same logo but Marroon.They have placement marks for easy instalation.PM me and my wife can send out a picture.Shipping is not a issue as they fit in an envelope.

Most of the after market wheels don't have the C5 emblem because of copyright. I believe I paid under 15 bucks for all 4 of them, They are just a stick on vinyl. I would say I have got my moneys worth.

Cyberdine also makes the 3D C5 logo version for center caps. Those are also pretty nice. Not sure what vendor is carrying them these days however...

JW - I have the C5 chrome deep dish Morxchn wheels you sell. Do you have emblems that will work for them?
