I need 3 of those myself. Picked up a set of those wheels off an '83 at the junkyard, only had one of the centers.

There is a place in Pasadena that probally has these. They might be up to $25 a piece, do you want to pay that much? Let me know and i'll find out for sure. I could probally even pick them up or I can see if you can pay with a credit card or what. Let me know.

$25 apiece ??? you're talking just for the small rounded square caps that cover the very center, right ?? Nah, I think I'll pass on that, but I do appreciate you being willing to go on the hunt. I got my wheels for $50, then $10 to have a guy take the tires off, $10 to have them stripped and cleaned up, now they look just like the one in the pic you posted. I took them to a buddy of mine who has an alternater/starter rebuilding business....he put them in his machine that he uses to clean up the casings. I couldn't believe how good they look !! My set was painted white, had a lot of scratches....you can imagine how a set of 23yo wheels would look. I'll keep my eye open at the junkyard for the caps.....never know, i might be able to pick up several sometime ! B)
