alternative to IROC center caps?

I just got some pretty good IROC wheels (2-line kind) for a decent price, with tires. Only thing wrong with em is that they're missin 2 center caps. Im puttin em on an 89 RS, and Im eventually going to debadge the whole car. Is there a company out there, or even a factory center cap that will replace the "IROC-Z" logo? Either blank, or bow tie, something that isnt model-specific.

yeah those centercaps are gettin expensive, even for used


sometimes at swap meets u can get a whole set for 40 bucks

we were trying to get some nice custom billet aluminum ones made with custom engraving on it for like 100 bucks a set. they were gonna be really nice... but we needed 10 ppl and fell short by 1 or 2 so it never went down.. and i'm no longer interested in it

I found mine on ebay new for i think $90.00...they say -camaro- not -irocz- or -z28- or anything like that. Maybe those would suit your needs?

ya, the camaro ones would work. Im not too fond of the billet aluminum idea, but thats just me. I want something that looks decent. "trying" to go for the sleeper look.

Dark- do you know what those center caps came off of specifically? And does it matter if they are going on 1 line or 2 line IROCs?
