What style center cap do they make for the small bolt pattern?

If you're having trouble deciding, you can start a new thread with a pole like NZ did for his center caps.   Just my 2 cents.



I have the pointed "Sombrero" style on a set of 15" x 7" small bolt, Rally Wheels, & always liked them better. I don't know which is correct for which year, but to me it's what I wanted. (Wheel Vintiques made the wheels with a custom offset)

By the way, the color is a little off in that photo, the Scamp isn't green, it's yellow with a black top.

These are the pointed "Sombrero" style:


These are the flat center "Acorn" style:

Hmmm...  both styles look very nice.  The pic of OldMoparz Scamp looks cool.  I don't see many Scamps.  The Acorns would be different but I'm used to the sombrero style.  I guess also with the sombreros, they look like the type on the '70-'71 Challengers so it gives the car a little performance heritage sort of look, sort of.  Am I making sense?

One of my friends has the acorn style on his '70 Road Runner Convertible. If I recall, he said they were correct for his car, but I've seen so many different year cars with both I don't know. The sombrero style on my Scamp are the darker gray which are my personal favorites. It gives the wheel a two tone look instead of being mostly silver.
