Centercaps

I have been looking for these centercaps forever, I lost the two on the passenger side. If anyone has two that they would sell me, or if anyone knows the GM PN so that I can order them, it would be greatly appreciated. TIA!!

Hey!!! I know you!!!

hahaha, yea, its me.

I could probably call GM on it, but they usually arent much help unless you already have the PN. Plus id rather buy them used considering the shape of the rims anyway.

There’s some cool aftermarket ones that look like little cones out there somewhere… probably could find them with some digging around at the shop…

Damn you need to fix how that thing sits, even in that pic (which looks MUCH better then IRL ). Here. Put a 27-28” tall back tire on it and lower it like this:

All i have right now is the front springs cut to drop it about 2" (Before anyone starts flaming... it rides just as good as before and I cant even notice a difference, and I have offset shafts for the UCA's to fix the camber) but it rubs already on the inner fender at full lock. If I lowered it that much, i would probably have to custom fab some inners. but that does look sweet as hell!! I might do that with a drag radial on the rear.

keep the current springs for now, put the beltech 2" drop spindles on it, and i have no idea for the rear...

but the cone center caps... i dunno about that... kinda, well, im gonna keep my mouth shut...

r those center caps the ones with the IROC written on or the Z28 or just the blank silvers? I just got 4 IROC center caps for those rims from GM and they were expensive as hell even w a discount.
