Default Hubcap question?

Just a quick question, my jeep has the normal 5 spoke rims but I have lost a couple centercaps. Do you think I could replace the center pieces with some cragars?




and use these

Measure the depth of both. If one is longer than the other it will stick out like a sore thumb

No. The hole in the center isn't big enough.

Best deal I see...

The cragar center caps rust in no time and look like crap anyway.

i agree, these center cap replacements are way too pricey, especially since i only need one. And I have yet to see one with mounting hardware which would probably be a pain to find.

For the guys needing only 1 or 2 of these caps, try posting wanted ads on here, your local classfied site, and check on ebay.. usually you can get them pretty cheap (I've bought 2 full sets, so 8 of these, for under $40 total.. one set is flat black, the other stock). Don't worry about not having the original hardware as they're just 3 little bolts, and almost anything the same size will work (I used 8x3/4 wood screws to mount mine)

The first set was asking $35 but took $20 as no one wanted them, and the second set was after putting a wanted ad on the local classfied site (also for $20 lol). I had a ton of emails from some people having 1, 2, 3 or a full set.. I just went for the closest ones to me.

Also if someone was actually worried about not having the factory mounting screws, they can have all the ones I have as I have no use for them.
