What caps to use?


  Tryin to decide what caps to use on my Corvette rally wheels,  What do you guys think?
  I'm leaning toward the plain caps, they seem to suit the plain jain look more.

I like the rally's. I prefer the small caps but if that's not an option I would go with the 68 & up style you have.

Little round caps with no trim rings.  Very stripped down and all business!

With the 8" Vette wheels I prefer no caps - or the smaller caps with the disc brake centres as on 427Carl's car in the photo.

  Heres a better look at what I got.  They're repos from china, but I think they work with the 'look' of a plain jane....    I have a set of 7" rallyes that are red, I may try them an see what it looks like with red rims(to match the red interior)

The plain caps with Chevy logo were used on 1967 cop cars back in the day in Ontario. I think they look good on 60 era post cars. My opinion.
