OK fellas running American Muscle rims - I hate the dumb center cap with the ~M~ in the middle of it. I wanted to do something possibly that says Ford Racing, plain silver, etc. I'm not too sure of the size or where i can get different ones from. If i can't find any halfway decent ones, i'm tempted to just paint them all black. Any suggestions??

Here's a little whore.

seems american muscle thought ahead:

black centers:
Black Aluminum Center Cap (Large Size) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

silver brushed aluminum:
Silver Brushed Aluminum Center Cap (Large Size) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

i would go with the silver brushed aluminum on those wheels.

I wonder if stock style center caps would fit. The OEM tri-bar running pony caps ala OEM Bullitts would look awesome. Plain caps are too...well...plain...

Here's my "flaming "M" center caps after I finished them.



I cut them in half where they were stuck together,painted the back of the clear disc black (after removing the adhesive),and applied the graphics I had made for thyem,then,a few coats of clear wheel paint.Stuck them back together,instant center caps that are all mine,and no-one else has.

Coupe----I put real Ford running Pony caps in my American Muscle bullit wheels. They were a tad loose, so I just ran a bead of silicon around the inside of them to keep them tight.

Really? i'll have to look around online and see where i can get a deal for them. I'd like to put the running pony caps in mine as well if i can't find the ford racing ones.

Mine have snakes on them too, but only in front for now.
I just got my wheels from americanmuscle last week, and the center caps I had dont fit them
So I have snakes on front, and the stupid am symbol on back.
