The N89 rims aren't made for center caps. I tried seeing if one of my 84 T/A caps would snap in and the rim is physcially cast different than a rim that uses center caps.. I did see a picture of a car with N89 rims and center caps so there must be a way if you are creative. You might have to silicone or epoxy them on.
The gardners stole your bowl ball hub caps because they knew some Knight Rider geek would pay $400 for them!

The KR idiots will paint them black. The factory black ones were metal and painted black. The silver versions(like yours) were brushed and then clear coated.

Dennis... correct as usual... but to fit them on the turbofin rims liek I have.. you just take a rotor-tool and buzz off some of the tabs in back and it will fit.. it won't look perfect.. cause the rim looks different.. but to the "average person" they won't know the diff. I won't do it.. but I've seen it done.
