Marinello Wheels

Yea the ones you posted above. Why wouldn't the real ones take the Chevy cap? They are replicas so they should fit if you WERE to get the real oem Esky platinum 22's. Plus you already have a buyer for your old rims/tires, remember?

I'm under the impression that these guys replicate the oem wheels but manufacture their own caps to work with them as oem chevy caps won't work with esky wheels ... but I guess that would mean that I could buy the real deal wheels and use these guys' caps on them. We'll see ... I'm not ready to pull the trigger on a wheel change yet as other things are first on the list.

Hmm i don't see why a replica wheel would make different center caps. I would think Esky reps and oems would have interchangeable caps. So what's next on your list for the HyHoe anyways?

No, what i mean to say felix is that oem chevy/gmc caps for 22s don't fit 22" esky wheels, whether they are the standard seven spoke ones like the op is looking for or the platinum ones. The esky ones go over the lugs whereas all the other GM option wheels the caps go inside the lugs leaving them exposed.

These guys at Marinello must have manufactured/modified esky caps with the chevy logo, so the only thing i can think of that could work is getting chevy caps from Marinello and put them on an oem 22" platinum wheel ... but one would have to call to find out if A. their wheel cap assy is the same as the oem one, and B. whether they will sell just the chevy caps without the wheels. I doubt they would do it though as they would be helping people onto oem wheels instead of theirs.

Make sense?
