wheel center caps

[jcb]

I am trying to find center caps for the turbine style wheels. These are on a 78/280z and I think are the original wheels. The opening has a outer shoulder that measures 3.25" but the inner opening is 3.5". Anyone know where I can find center caps to fit these wheels. I have looked at MSA,summit and on the internet but cannot find what I think would fit. I plan to paint them so any material would work.Thanks for any replies, JB

We are going to need a picture of these wheels. The only Nissan alloy wheel that came on North American 78 280's is not a "turbine" style wheel.

http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/body-paint-s30/21653-newly-painted-280z.html post #13 shows the wheels and hub caps there were the only factory options in 78.

Someone else was asking about center caps a couple of days ago. There were several suppliers mentioned.

Agreed, please post a picture. I am familiar with most of the makers, if we can ID the manufacturer we should be able to come up with something that will fit.

zKars and Arne, Thanks for the replies. I found a picture of my wheels on a search of "wheel center caps". The post is from steve91tt. Arne, you are able to identify them in that post, as a Western Aluminum wheel. But the center hole on mine are 3.25" and then they enlarge to 3.50". I found the caps on MSA but they are 3&3/16". They state that the caps push in and I do not think they will be big enough to stay in. I will keep looking and maybe find some that will work. Thanks again. JB
