Center Caps

I bought some nice used aluminum rims for my 93 250 4x4. They came without center caps. Can anybody recommend some decent center caps that fit these trucks well and don't rust?

OEM Alcoas or something else? Do you want hub caps that cover the lug nuts, so you can use plain steel nuts? Or are you looking for just a center cap, that would require chrome/finished capped lug nuts?

Note Alcoas, but look just like them. The brand escapes me, but yes, just normal centers that DON'T cover the lugs and require nice polished lug nuts.

Yours might be "generic" Alcoas. Alcoa made a set that look just like the ones made specifically for Ford, but they just don't have the four notches cut in the center-hole for the tab locks on the Ford hub caps. We have a set like that, and we got a set of cheapo eBay chrome "push-through" caps. I don't have pics of them handy. Closest I have is a pic of a black one, on an AR(?) rim on my '85 Batmobile -

Same idea, though.

Def. not the generic Alcoas; 12 slot holes and those rivets. Might be AR. They do make stainless versions of those push-through caps. IIRC, it was a 5.1" opening, and if it's a 4x4 truck, get the deepest ones you can find for the rear. They make open-end ones for the front as well.

Bill,


Do you know of a source for a rear pair of F5TZ-1130J's? They are going on a pair of 1994/95 rims. Thanks.


Jack
