I said what the heck & picked these up from a Chevy dealer for $200 total (including censors).....couldn't figure out what kind of center caps to use w/ these so I just ran them "au natural"......got kind of used to them w/out caps, but wife thinks it looks ridiculous.


anyway, if your bored could I get your $.02 on what you think of the set-up, & if you think it needs caps, any advice on exactly which ones would work would me most appreciated.

Thanks!!!

I say it needs caps. just my opinion

Looks like regular Police wheels maybe ask the dealership if they have any in stock

I like it with no caps IMO, I'm in LE maybe that's why? I say leave them like they are

to my knowledge they won't fit - the Police wheels are different.....these are basically 4 spare tire rims and tires.

The way the Chevy dealer explained it to me occasionally they'll get a vehicle in this way & the buyer will pick their custom rim/tire set-up.

O ok well if they are Spare rims then they don't make a specific Cap for them, The only thing I could think of is maybe go to a Junk yard and try a few different ones from earlier models.

thanks guys - most appreciated - I think I'll root around the junk yard for some old caps, otherwise just say screw it they're winter tires...


...anyway, going to throw the aluminum rims back on today - would anyone know of a product that removes the cloudiness from the clearcoat?

(sorry also posted in detailing but since I've got your ear I thought I'd ask)


Thanks again!
