92 Camaro Center caps

Alright I have a 92 Camaro RS and the center caps are missing. The lug nut covers are there and thats it. Does anyone have a suggestion on the best place to buy new/replacement center caps.

I have looked online and found some but all of them show only the center cap piece not the piece that the lug caps hold on and the center caps are attached to. if these are sold along with it would it be specified on the site? if not any idea where i could buy the whole set?

BTW its the 15in wheels that came on the car stock.

Thanks in advance for your help...

here is a pic

Re: 92 Camaro Center caps

They are the correct stock wheels for a '92 RS.

Re: 92 Camaro Center caps

I guess it depends on the RS - my 1992 came with dual line 16" wheels, and the Camaro center caps like on the 93-9? Camaro's

Yes, I too have seen the 16" wheels factory on '92 RS's. It was because the car was ordered with an optional higher performance tire. The 15" X 7" wheel as in the picture is the base wheel for the '92 RS. It had P215/65R-15 tires mounted to them from the factory.

Re: 92 Camaro Center caps

I'll get a picture a little later, I need to wake up a bit. For the center caps, there are five pins that align to the five small holes in the rim. Can see these in your picture.

Then there are five metal clips that snap into the center opening of the wheel. The pins align the cap, the clips hold them in place. Don't use a mallet to put them on. Just align the pins with the cap a little sideways, partially in place. Such that the one side of the clips are into the wheel.

Then slap the high side of the cap straight in with the palm of your hand. The use of a mallet usually splits the cap.

RBob.

{edit: added the pictures. Shows the cap in place, and the cap partially off to show pins & clips. Note that these caps are the OEM factory units. }

Re: 92 Camaro Center caps

I have a set available from a 92 RS that have been sprayed with argent silver wheel paint and have correct GM "Camaro" centers. They look very good on the argent silver RS rims.
