Push in Hex caps may still be available for this style

Would those be plastic? Looking for the real deal steel....Currently have the Crager S/S style cap with the late 70's American logo and looking for the steel hex style..

The wheels are 15x7. Not in a hurry to sell them, if that is what I decide to do.

You can always run them without center caps a-la the old Trans Am racers. 15x7s on a slightly lowered Camaro SS or Z would look awesome.

I decided I don't really have a use for these. I want $800 for the set for members. I will post them in the for sale section also.

Also, I took them to the tire shop and had them checked. All are straight and true.

Jason - Do the caps push in from the front (plastic) or the rear(metal). If from the front, yes they are 1970's vintage. I have a set of American Spirit wheels on my corvette that has the same type of push in cap. I also have an original American Wheel catalog from the 1970's, and it lists the push in type caps for some wheels. But it does say to supply them until they run out and then issue the screw in and also the push-in from the rear type caps (metal). I have been successful getting replacement caps from a guy that is now located in California. He sometimes has ADs in Hemmings. If you wish, I can get you his address.

I am not sure if they push in through the back or the front as I do not have the caps. The address would be nice.

Thanks,


Jason
