87 t-type wheels, center cap options?

[devildog214]

I bought a set of t-type wheels for my non-buick gbody =]. Anyway im looking for a set of centercaps that would fit these wheels, preferably something with no logo. I found a few firebird centercaps but they seem to fit really loosely, would they fit better with the retainers or no? Also kirban sells centercaps to fit their repro GNX rims. But will they fit the t-type rims, since the GTA's have the same diameter center?

I cheated with mine.. I went to JC whitney and bought set for the 79 to 82 camaro. To me they are way better styling than the TT centercaps and a lot less costly. $24 is what it cost me for set & $12 for Tri sheild logos. They have been on 5 years now.

If I can get a close up photo I will post for you.

Cant help you on the kirban ones but I am sure Dennis or his staff could answer for you.

yeah i was looking at repro camaro centercaps as well, they even came with retainers with some sellers, did you use retainers or no?

Here's a picture from another board member I got a few years ago and hosted the picture for him in another thread, same topic.

I think they are available at Jegs or Summitt.

Do a search under T wheel center caps. and hopefully the old thread with part numbers will show up.

The firebird center caps work perfect. Kirban used to sell them. Someone must still.

I run Corvette re-pops on mine, They fit tight and the price is right. I have a chorme set and a black and chrome set.

Don't go crazy getting a picture on here. I was curious what that cap option looked like, as I'm sure were others. On the other matter ........
