Good resource for center caps (knock-offs) for old wheels

[landmizzle]

Hi all,

As you may or may not recall, I have put my old Minilite wheels back into service on my 72' 240Z. I love these wheels and really like the look of the the tri-arm knock-off center caps. I have a slight problem though in that I could only find three of them. Sooo....I'm in need of a fourth one and have quickly discovered that these kind of center hubs are difficult to find nowadays.

I've done some searching on the 'net and found a few places that might sell something similiar but I have yet to contact them. Before I go a make too many phone calls, I was wondering if anyone here might know of a source where these center caps might be procured.

Just so you know, my current three caps are configured as so;

Center ring that is held onto wheel with three hex allen bolts. The diameter is just a hair over 3" or 75 mm. The actual tri-arm knock-off, screws onto the center ring. In my gallery is a picture of one of the Minilites with the center cap on.

If anyone has some knowledge of a wheel place that carries these kinds of center caps, I'd appreciate any information you might have.

Best Regards,

Hi PrOxlaMuS,

I found a place at www.akhwheels.com that looks promising. I've got a call into them right now and there checking their stock to see if they can help me out.

I've seen the caps you mentioned at MSA but I'd prefer to match the tri-arms that I already have. Thanks for the heads up. Check out the above site to see if they have your Western Mags caps.

Best Regards,
