Default C6 Center Caps

New member and C6 owner. 08 Corvette with chrome wheels that are not looking too good. Want to strip and powder coat black. Can't find black caps for them. Don't want to buy aftermarket wheels made in China. Found some C5 Z06 caps that sure look like them. And on ebay. Want to know if the C5 Z06 center caps will fit. Thanks for any info.

I didn't see the pic of the wheel in the above post. I guess I never paid attention that the early C6 five spoke wheels had that type of center cap. I thought they were all round.

My '05 has the original center cap (plastic) with the decal that was offered at that time. Plenty of Zaino on them and they still shine!!!

Have you given any thought to Plasti-Dip, it would do a nice job and you could have flat or Satin finish
