Center CAp options for 15 x 8 4x4 rallys - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone ever try to use different center caps on the rallys. Even moon dishes small enough to cover the bolt holes?

I like these. Clean and simple. They also make the wheels look deeper.

Same here. I use the 88-98 style caps/lugs.

You just need to get the SAE duplex lugs.Those caps look better than original-type.

I have the factory ones from the 4x4 with the bolt hole in the middle because I peeled of the 4x4 stickers. I saw a thread where a guy put a little concave mirror from Walmart on and it looked pretty good. Just the right size, I think I might try this.M2C

The caps like I posted above are screwed in from the back. If you turn the cap over, there are tabs between each lug hole. each tab has a plug in it. Remove three plugs in the pattern of the original hub mounting holes in the wheel. Using 1/4" x 20 screws,(I used self tapping) screw them in from the back. You can still use chrome lug nuts this way. I personally like this look better than the black lug covers originally designed for these caps.

How do you accurately locate the holes in your wheel?

It's common sense really, once you look at them, you'll know. There is no way to mess it up.
