    Good you ask, I forgot to mention that I will put the wheels on my 65 GS so it should be correct for that period. I had a set of 14x6 on it with the trishield logo on.

    Jan, Do you need the ribbed caps about 1-1/2 inches high that fit on the chrome and black sport wheels? If so you probably want the "fat bird" for a 65right?

    Jan, Me again. Actually if you have a G.S. the tri-shield it's probably correct. The fat silver bird with a red background is correct for Skylark. Maybe you have the smooth side cap with the tri-shield and about 3/4 inch high, and want to switch to the ribbed cap with tri-shield?

    You should contact the board member mitchr on this board. He reproduces very nice caps for reasonable money.

    The only center cap used for Skylark and GS in '65 was the "fatbird" style. The trishield came into use about '69.

    If the fatbird caps are correct, then it is these I want:) If any of you have some to offer let me know by a PM or else I will contact the suggested board member. Thanks for your info.

    X2 for Mitch Romanowski! I have a set of the ribbed 70' TriShield centers for my wheels. His set is perfect and totally worth the money. You won't be disappointed!:beer
