bigoak Posted June 4, 2007 Share #1 Posted June 4, 2007 Has anyone ever seen center caps such as these? They came with the wheels (photo) on my '71 Z when I bought it. Any idea what they might be? My appraiser suggest American Racing but wasn't sure. I haven't pulled the wheels off yet to check their brand (being a little lazy I guess). Any thoughts are appreciated.

sblake01 Posted June 4, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 4, 2007 There look like old Eagle Alloys. I've seen that logo on a newer set but it also says 'Spirit Of America' around the eagle.

Arne Posted June 4, 2007 Share #3 Posted June 4, 2007 The wheels remind me of Western or Superior. Not sure without more data. The three-bar spinners are third party - they did not come with the wheels originally, as they were for "off road use only" due to DOT regulations. As such, the emblem on the spinners are a red herring, at best.

sblake01 Posted June 4, 2007 Share #4 Posted June 4, 2007 I was refering to the logo on the spinner. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/24492-mystery-center-caps/#findComment-211274 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arne Posted June 4, 2007 Share #6 Posted June 4, 2007 Don't be surprised if you don't find much - a lot of those old wheels weren't really marked on the back.
