It looks like other Mfg's used the same Caps w/ different Centers as ET pic below, maybe you can find some and swap Centers?
Coker has a few Rocket Caps although none the same as you need, the page keeps changing but there's a similar Rocket Ctr. only around page 4-7 @ this link...

Other style 5-bolt tab Caps may fit too, I just checked the tab mount hole Ctr to Ctr dimensions of some Fenton Dish Caps here and got 2-1/8" between holes 1&2 also 3-7/16" between holes 1&3.
Best of luck w/ your quest!

----On some original T/T's I have restored I used Long Island Corvettes 1965-66 knock-off wheel rattle can paint. Its a bit dark but I like the contrast with the polished rim......Bill S

I have lately been using Plastikote paint called "Steel Wheels". I'm pretty happy with it.

Just Finished restoring my wheels. I need to find a very nice original or NOS set of Rocket R.P.M Special center caps. These 15x6 wheels are goin to soon to be mated with a set of 670x15 Bf Goodrich Slivertown Blackwall tires. Anyone know of any of these center caps let me know. Thanks.
