Slotted Mag Center Caps??
When I put my Slots on my '87 the center caps I got off ebay were a plastic reproduction. They fit awesome, till i put them on the truck. Then I noticed that the hubs were to big and pushed the centercaps out about 1/4". Has anyone else run into this? Is there a fix? I tried looking for a different cap but no luck. i'm thinking that I should cut of the tabs and leave about a 1/4" left on for centering and run a small bead of clear silicone to hold them on?

Re: Slotted Mag Center Caps??
I haven't started looking for caps for mine yet. American Racing has a screw on cap, but you would have to drill and tap 5 small screw holes on each wheel. Depending on the size of the center hole, there are some universal metal ones that may work as well. What brand are the wheels?

They are E/T Slots. I would like to use the screw on ones but to line it up perfectly would be next to imposible....Cause we all hate "cap wobble"

You could always run without caps, that's how the slots on my '87 are.

That's the route I'm taking.
