********Opinions needed.....Road Wheel Centers**********

Is there anything about these center caps that would not pass for OE other than the blank center?






Compared to MA's repops

[farmboy70]

Are the bases larger than stock or is it just the picture making it look  that way?

Looks correct.  Can you ask the seller for a pic of the bottom?

  Thanks guys...Here's what I'm thinking, maybe someone out there already knows better so please chime in.... 
   These are GULP chevy center caps...several  on the market that look similar but these are shown to fit the 69,70 models....They are less than 1/2 the best price I can find for a "Mopar" cap.    You can get a set of 4-for $55.00 even with 4-retainers $74 & new center decals can be had for $25 or less

Sounds like you can't hardly lose.  Same reason I got '68 Mustang fogs on my 'Cuda.

I don't think there were very much differences in any of them..........sounds like a good deal...............we do want to see some installed pics of course.......................

[Super Blue 72]

The differences will hardly be noticeable when you're driving around town.  When stopped, a VERY keen eye might be able to see a difference.  From the first pic, it looks like these Chevy caps are a wee bit shorter, I haven't looked at the dimensions or anything, just eyballing it.  The lip at the centers is alittle taller on the Mopar ones it seems.  Best is a side by side comparison obviously...

If it fits, are secure on the wheel, and you like them, go for it! 

Just make sure the center caps don't fall off revealing a Chevy emblem under it...   

[Bullitt-]

If all measurements are accurate there is a 1/8" difference in height & base diameter, otherwise I believe it may just be camera angle & lighting making them look different...
  I'm going to order some & will report back eventually


     Which make would you say the top left is??

[Super Blue 72]

I'll take a stab and say the top left is Mopar because of the taller lip.... 

[the_engineers]

Chevy SS because of the fatter taper...
