Stock Steelie Wheel Caps

Hey everyone. I was wondering, does anyone know of any wheel caps for our stock steelies to hide the hubs? I kinda like the steelie look and will be running them till I get new wheels. I don't mean hubcaps, I'm talking about the little caps that cover the centers, but leave the rest exposed. All options open at this point as I do not know if I want to go all flat black and finish the blackout of the box or put chrome caps and lug nuts on it and a chrome trim ring on them. Thanks for the input guys!

The ones in the picture are what you get from Napa. The stay on well without any hardware or modification. I ran them for a year and never lost one. Don't know about painting them, though. Good Luck on your search.

Re: Stock Steelie Wheel Caps

I'm rocking the steelies with a ring as well, picked up the ring from eBay.

The NAPA center cap has a dull finish that doesn't match the stainless rings, I think it was a zinc coating or something. What I did was wet sand and buff, then hit it with clearcoat spraypaint for wheels. No flaking yet, so you should be fine painting it.

Just a heads up though, when I rotated my tires I did notice rust on the inside of the cap, so you may want to paint it. Also, I used silicone adhesive on the inner lip of the cap to hold it on the rim, just in case. Haven't lost one yet.

Sweet! I've been looking for those caps! NAPA who'd of thought. What size are they and how do they mount on?
