For those who haven't been following my build thread, I got a set of Moto Metal 962s 20x12 in chrome for my Silverado and have had intentions of doing a different center cap. GMFS Member "danieljaimet" did this first to his 20x12s and followed suit. Spoke to him back and forth some and he used some 4.25 hub bore caps on his. I did some looking for caps in that size. It was decided that on a push through cap that the lip would have to be cut off. Especially if the hub centric rings are to be used. Well I found out that they will need to be cut off regardless for the wheel to fit nicely on your hub/axle. So I searched for some plain stainless steel caps. The 4.25 inch domed Gorilla center caps in S.S. are about the only ones I could find: Gorilla Automotive Products - Lug Nuts, Wheel Locks, Auto Security, Wheel Accessories
Gorilla makes a point/domed cap, but is a chromed steel cap. Wasn't excited about one of those, especially if it needed to be cut. I bought a set of 4 like I linked. I took one and hammered it in on the wheel and it was going to be a damn tight fit all the way on. Took 3/4 of an inch off one and it worked out perfectly.
Forgive me on the cell phone pictures.
Original Moto Metal center cap.
I'll have to put up some more pictures showing the cap inside the wheel from the back side. I'm going to pick up some Loctite locking compound and smear some between the cap and the rim just for good measures. Otherwise they fit into the rim very nice and tight. I'll also be picking up some shorter chrome bolts to thread into the rim where the longer bolts went that held in the original center cap.
On a side note, I will be not be using these caps on my rims. I did some more looking around and found a really badass set of some polished aluminum pointed center caps. I'll put up some pictures of those once they come in.
