Posted January 29, 200520 yr comment_110595 I have ZX wheels on my car and I would like to know if there are any alternative center caps to use instead of the big Z caps. They stick out some and don't look so nice, so I'd prefer something that was flat, like a plate.Should I get those custom made? I think they would just screw in place of the old ones.Get some pics of my idea soon.thx Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/14803-alternative-wheel-center-caps/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 29, 200520 yr comment_110636 I think the "Z" design is classic. Why don't you see if they can make a flat plate with just the Z. I know what you mean by the center cap sticking out. I really don't care for that either but a flat Z whould look sharp.JMOVicky Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/14803-alternative-wheel-center-caps/#findComment-110636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 29, 200520 yr comment_110640 Would a flat center plate fit on the front? Doesn't the front wheel hub stick out beyond the wheel? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/14803-alternative-wheel-center-caps/#findComment-110640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 29, 200520 yr Author comment_110646 Vicky- How about a laser-etched 'Z' logo? I attached a couple suggestions I found on the internet, but a better, fine-lined logo would be in order to go with the detail a laser can do. Maybe some of the graphics Aficionados here can come up with something like the old ink engravings.(Black line-art).

March 3, 200520 yr Author comment_114896 I guess I'll just go with a Cavallino instead of a Z logo. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/14803-alternative-wheel-center-caps/#findComment-114896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 27, 200618 yr Author comment_180166 I finally got my idea figured out. I have the 6-spoke ZX wheels, so I took the rear hub caps off, and cut around it just under the chamfer, then I sanded it so it was flat, and glued it on the wheel with GOOP. the front will have to stay stock, because the hubs stick out.

September 2, 200618 yr Author comment_180864 This is what it looks like. You think I should polish or paint the brake drums silver? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/14803-alternative-wheel-center-caps/#findComment-180864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 2, 200618 yr comment_180866 Wow, that really looks sharp!Sounds like a job for photoshop(to help you figure it out by seeing what they would look like).Will Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/14803-alternative-wheel-center-caps/#findComment-180866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
