Ive got 17 inch ZR1 tyle rims that ive taken off recently for polishing...they have the C4 corvette flag logo in the middle and theyre starting to wear badly...

I was wondering if anybody knew of anywhere to get some centercaps for these? I'd prefer to have a bird logo on them, but cant seem to find anything, all ive found is blank or replacement vette flag ones...


thanks!

Would the Firehawk or SLP caps fit? There for 17" rims. I dunno just throwing it out there.
MasterTomos
not sure but i did a little more searching and found that SLP offers some completely blank centercaps for these exact rims...however, I'm not sure if I'd do a decal or what...i like how the corvette emblem is 3 dimentional, they arent just a sticker...

Nice. So what you were thinking about taking it to a metal shop and having them put in a TM? haha
MasterTomos
Im thinking the only real option i see is to do something with a blank disk like these(I know SLP offers these too):

with a decal combo from something like this:

Im thinking about doing a black firebird emblem for a centercap decal with the chrome disk behind it...

what do you all think?




for those of you who arent familiar with the style of rim, they look like this:

I think the blank centercap with a black "bird" would look really good! Whatever you do, do NOT put the Pontiac arrow on there, i've seen people do that before, it looks horrible IMO. Or even if you just put on a blank one with no decals or anything would look good. It would give it a really clean look...just my 2 cents

btw where are the pics of your rims!!!!!!!!!!!! biggrin.gif

Im pretty sure im guna order new plain chrome caps and put a black bird on them...probably the "solid bird" cuz thats the LT1 style, but i was also thinkin of the LS1 bird style cuz I think itd stand out more and be more noticable...

no worries...no arrowheads!

I vote for the solid LS1 bird decal in black. biggrin.gif
MasterTomos
I believe thats what I'll do...im liking the ls1 style simply cuz it bigger...
