I think they are ARE's from around 1987-1993
they are a two piece style with the center cap screwing on.

my center caps wont hold on in the front

I need to new center caps or fix the ones I have.

I Turn one quarter turn and the cap comes off
does anyone have these center caps or ones that would fit? I don't care if they are a different design.

awesome thanks for giving me hope

I was told that they made by american racing in the late 1980's
 
Boy, I can't remember the model number of those wheels- They have been discontinued about 15+ years. You could get the centers in silver, black and gold.

The first set of wheels that I sold when I worked at my previous job was a set of those in gold on a Ford Aerostar.

Are 398

I have the same rims on my GN. They are actually a 3 piece rim. 2 rim halves, bolted to the center piece.

I got a couple center caps from wheelcollison.com probably 3-4 years ago. I think I paid about $85 for 2 caps. They actually list a black set 16"x7' for sale on their web.

I actually have stretch wrap around the treads on some of my centercaps to make them fit tighter.

Hope that helps.
