question about IROC center caps

picked up a set of iroc wheels, and I'm not sure i'm going to keep them or not.

If I do, I want to put a set of camaro emblems on them. I don't have an iroc, and don't want to put an IROC emblem ion my car and have it look like I'm building some sort of clone.

Two of the wheels have center caps that I could easily leave as is, or put the camaro emblems on. Two of them have no cap at all, and I'm not having much luck trying to match them

everything I see available has this style of cap, the plastic push on kind




my wheels have a metal cap, held in place by a threaded bracket. I would much rather have this kind.



anybody know where I can find a couple of them?

Re: question about IROC center caps


thanks, that first company has a great selection of emblems, but I couldn't find any caps, there's a difference

I really need the cap that attaches to the wheels with some sort of clip, not the decorative emblem that goes on top of it. those I already have.

Re: question about IROC center caps

For factory caps I would suggest either ebay, Modern Day Muscle or Hawks.

Re: question about IROC center caps

none of them have anything like the two caps I already have. The problem is also that the factory ones all obviously say IROC on them, and I'd rather not have that

that raises the question... are the ones in my pic even factory? Or are they something that somebody made out of stainless or aluminum, really really well?

My guess. The following ones are pricey but might fit your needs. The second link for pics works:

Re: question about IROC center caps

thanks james. those look nice but I really want something flat that I could put an emblem on.

if I decide to keep these wheels, I may have to have a machine shop make something for me similar to what I already have, or try to do it myself

Re: question about IROC center caps

I think I've decided to have two more built to match the two I already have. I've also got a design change that I might do, which would mean having 4 built.

now I just have to find a metal fabricating show that will do the job
