zeitgeist57 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 For my Volvo, I got some 19"s that have a 67mm center opening (66.9 on my HF digital calipers). I absolutely hate the look of wheels without center caps, but in researching caps I'm finding that there's an O.D. and I.D. So, if I search Amazon for 67mm caps, they usually have a 61mm inner diameter for the clips. Does anyone have experience with how these caps are properly measured or ordered? I really don't even care about an emblem (plain silver would be fine). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Did you test the stock ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 I love that a random tool always finds it's way into at least one of your pictures. ( btw, it's 81 here today ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Is there a lip inside where the clips hit, or is yours a smooth 67mm all the way through? Those look similar to the drags I replaced center caps on a few years ago. EBay caps and decals.

Geeto67 Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 If you can get me some measurements, I could probably 3d print you some custom logo ones if you like. I just printed a similar cap for the swing-arm pivot on my BMW motorcycle so I have a generic cap file I can work from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted December 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Thanks, guys. I didn't notice the comments from yesterday to today. Stock caps are slightly smaller...call it 65mm? They just fall into the void. Shaun, there is a slight ridge that technically would be wider than 67mm by a hair all around. That pic looks perfect, where the tabs could be bent slightly outwards to clip in. https://www.ebay.com/i/163788204055?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=163788204055&targetid=541454149812&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9014901&poi=&campaignid=6470552634&mkgroupid=81274458647&rlsatarget=pla-541454149812&abcId=1139336&merchantid=8227724&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwdK5ttuu5gIVoINaBR0ESQ42EAQYBCABEgKohPD_BwE These look like they clip in and would be at the perfect depth from the wheel face. Thanks for the offer, Kerry - if I can get eBay/Amazon parts I'm going to go that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossle Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Clay -WheelMedic has a room packed full of center caps and what not that they have accumulated. May make you a deal locally on them? Just an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
