rallye center caps
« on: September 04, 2013 - 09:24:40 PM »
Okay, I just got a hold of 15x7 Rallye Wheels with trim rings and center caps. Question --- What size screws hold the caps to the wheels? Are they special or can you get them in any hardware store?

So they just screw in to the holes and "tap" in to the plastic. I couldn't see if there were any threads inside the holes...

Yes , the original caps were diecast , there are no threads if they are new unless they supplied screws .
 I bet Anlauto has a picture of the original screws .

Summit said to use 1/4 inch 20 thread 1/2 inch in length. I got a hold of size 14 by 3/4 length, they seem to do the trick. Thanks for all the help.

I bought screws at Home Depot. I don't recall what size, but I do remember 3/4 " in length.   :-\

But yes, they were self tapping screws. They made their own groves as you drove them in.

I just got new center caps from Summit 2-3 weeks ago—they sent them in two batches and now that I wanted to take a pic for you I realized that there are screws for one badge (the two caps that I have in the car) but there are NO screws for the second badge (the two caps I have here...).

BTW these summit repros are die-cast but made in China! If I knew that before... :nono:
