I have the stock wheels and am in the process of polishing them up. Not cleaning them. I stripped the clear coat off the wheels and have polished the base aluminum to remove the machining marks. I'm currently at 400 grit. I will be using a heavy duty electric buffer and white rouge for the final polish. They should look like they are chromed when I'm done.

My problem is this:
I want to replace the center caps. I don't like the stock 5 hole units. A few years back I remember paging through a MMFF mag and seeing a different center cap. This one had no lug holes in it and had a highly polished finish. It also had no emblem in the center. Plain, round, polished and no emblem. And fits a 96 cobra wheel. I can't seem to find that particular design. I've seen caps with no lug holes, but they always have an emblem in the center. I'm going for that clean look.

Anyone?

There were a few 98 GT's that came with wheels that were similar to the 96-97 Cobra's that didn't have the holes and they were more painted aluminum color...but I don't know where you'd find the centercaps for them...

Call LRS at 1-866-507-3786. I am looking at their 2004 94-04 catelog on page 77 and it looks like they have a cap like you want for $21.95 each. Not sure by the picture, but they can tell you. The description is 94-95 GT with 17" #LRS1130J. Good luck!
