center caps with three prong spinners
« on: March 27, 2006, 05:40:00 PM »
I have seen some trucks with oem ralley whells that have center caps with three prong spinners on them.  These center caps look alot like normal center caps, they still have the bowtie in the center.

I am wanting to know where i can get some of these and about how much they would cost.

You might want to look at some swap meets. I've seen them at places like that. The spinners I have seen attach to your existing center caps and have allen type set screws on them and they tighten on to the center.

those look kind of like what i am looking for, except i think the one in the book snaps on.  I am wanting some that bolt onto the wheel and you can see the lug nuts when they are on.  I think the kind with the set screws might be more of what i am looking for.

Try the on line J. C. Whitney catalog.  Type in "Try Bar Spinner" into the search window, and you should find another option for what you are looking for.  These go on with the lug nuts.  Check it out.

The jc whithney ones look alot like what i have been looking for, except they don't have the bowtie in the center.  

If you have a year one catalog from yearone.com, there is a picture of some on page 247, but they don't sell them in the catalog.  That is a 72 truck that they are on, but the wheels are the same ralley wheels like on  a 73-87.  I think they must be the kind that slip over the original center cap and have the allen screws.

I would get the jc whitney ones, but i like the look of the bowtie in the center of the wheel
