I got them at a place called hubcap city in sanford FL. They are center caps for a chevy truck. I had to silicone them on, which kind of sucks. I've already run into the hassle of removing them to get some work done. I'm trying to find a better way to get center caps on these steelies. I really like the way your beauty rings look. Sick. I was thinking about getting some beauty rings and painting them white to simulate white walls, which are also a pain to find.

If you go with the center caps post some pics. Your car is looking sick.

Like I mentioned in the other thread where these wheels were brought up... Using this chart:


4.75" backspacing equates to +6mm offset. And you still face the probability of the wheel not clearing the caliper.

A 6 inch wide wheel with 3 inches of back space should be 0 mm not 6 mm backspace. Where does the extra 6 mm come from? The rear lip thickness?

if you measure a 6" wide rim, its not really 6" from lip to lip. it is 7". that is why the center(0) is 3.5" backspace.

OK thanks I figured it was the lip thickness that cause the difference.

There are several places that carry the right sized wide whites but they are pricey. Like 150 per tire.
