Does this look like a Challenger rimblow wheel center cap?
« on: January 09, 2007 - 08:37:33 AM »
I'm thinking that's what it is, minus the "Dodge" circular emblem that fits in there...

What says the group?

It looks a bit like one but it's not one. For starters the Challenger RB cap would have "Dodge" embossed into the shiney ring area and the shiney ring insert is a different shape as well.

Ahh.

Gotcha.

I figured this might be one that was just missing the finishing "dodge" ring.

Thanks.

Here is a correct one for comparisons

If I remember correctly the one you have is an A-body cap, I believe I saw one in a 71 Dart or possibly a Duster. I'm not 100% sure but I know I've seen that style before and that's the first car that comes to mind.

That's what I was thinking too. It's definitly not a Challenger rimblow cap.

  It might fit a rim-blow, but it definitely isn't an E-Body center cap.
