    Hey guys im the proud owner of a 1970 buick lesabre and i just got hold of a set of rally rims from a 1971 Riviera hopefully they'll fit let me kno if they won't felllas! Unfortunately the rims don't have the center caps and i was wondering what center caps are interchangeable with which rims and where i can find some for mine. I payed about 375 including shipping for the rims i got which are in pretty good shape feel free to let me kno if i got ripped off it'll hurt but i'd rather kno then not. Thanks for any input fellas

    71's (and up) won't fit properly on a 70 (66-70). Also the sizes for the caps differ 66-70: 2 1/8"vs 71-up: 2")

    The caps for your 70 LeSabre should look like these (here with Riviera emblem; should be tri-shield), but won't fit your wheels: [​IMG]

    Center caps on 71 and up look like these:

    Also i've never seen these rims up close and in person so do i just need the plastic buick tri-shield piece or do i need that the retainer and the metal piece that im assuming the plastic piece mounts onto.....In short am i hunting down three separate pieces or 1

    They come all assembled. If you need a set of 71 up ones I have an NOS set for sale.
