I just recieved a set of used...well used...35th aniversary wheels to put on my 35th car.
I didn't realize there was a difference in the caps other than the paint. The standard Super Coupe (silver painted) wheels in 89-92 had a stainless-steel (maybe aluminum) center cap that snapped in the wheel.
The 35th wheels are all black, and pained so. The center caps are black also, so I figured they were also just painted black to match. But no...
The black centers for the anniversary odels are actually black plastic with the metal hold-down ring melt-riveted to the back-side.
I am having the wheels powder-coated black, but since the caps are not metal, they can't be powder coated to match.
I may just take a set of metal, non-35th caps and have them powderd black with the wheels and then just add the 35th emblem to the centers myself.
Any suugestions?
