This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Center cap question

    I bought some sport wheel center caps and have a question.

    The one on the left has a retainer that I've seen on all the center caps I've owned.

    The one on the right side appears like it would be for a smaller diameter center hole.

    What do the wheels look like for the right side cap?


    Any info would be great.

    Both fit same rallye wheel centers.
    12 prong or newer 4 prong style retainers is the only difference.

    One is pressed together and will loosen up over time. I've drilled them and used small self tapping screws to keep them together. The older one is assembled with screws and I always had more faith in them.

    The screw on retainer on the 71-77 are nice! They can be unscrewed and emblems can be easily replaced! The 78-87 can be drilled but is more of a throw away one!
