IROC Z Wheel Center Inserts

Hi Guys,

I need new 4 x Center Caps with IROC Z in Silver Letters

My Centers have broken (the plastic retainer tangs have broken off) and won't fix back into the wheel.

My wheels are the 16" x 8" Versions (RPO- N96)

Does anybody know the GM Part Number(s) so that I can order the correct cap & insert? IROC Z Silver

Thanks for any replies

I don't have the part # handy, and don't know if they are even available anymore, but if you have trouble finding new ones then here is a thought... If your emblems are in good shape, you can remove them (carefully) from the plastic retainer, get a set with the more common black emblem, remove those emblems, and glue yours on with 3M trim and emblem adhesive.

Thanks for the Tips Blue.

The Plastic Retainers are my main problem because the tangs are broken.

I have found a Part Number - 14066938 - which I beleive to be correct for the retainer (Center Hub Cap Assembly in GM speak)

Don't know yet what the Part Number is for the IROC Z insert.

Or if maybe both items are covered by one Part Number?


Anybody else got any more info?

Thanks

I have a thought along similar lines... I have 16x8 Iroc wheels and was planning to get a graphic made for the center cap of a deep red metalic screaming chicken over a chrome background... I was wondering what people think of this plan and where I could get something like this made? The rims look sweet on my car, but I'd kind of like the rims to imply "firebird" instead of IROC... also, the IROC decals are fading anyhow.
