So if I get 4 fronts I can just bolt them on? I have stock brakes. The local junk yard will sell them to me for $150 per wheel.

one thing i ordered some repop caps from gbodyparts for my gtas at first they cliped in ok and i added some silcone for extra hold just in case,well about a mouth went by only got to drive the car three times and i noticed they just fool off on there own don't even clip on anymore are they all like this, had to duck tape them from the back side of the wheel to keep them on. What a waste of money.

 

[ALVAROG1983]

so do all caps fail after a mouth of being mounted

You need the metal retainer assy that slids into the back of each cap (TA's, GTA's had them to hold their caps on the wheel). The only way to go

Hence the price $65 for 4 or $62.00 each new GM. I almost guarantee it wasn't all 4 but 1 or maybe 2 rims that wouldn't keep them on? The center clearances for GM isn't exact. We found this out making T-type center caps. One cap would be tight getting it into a center & the next rim it would push in a Spin easily.
The GNX repops are the same as the GTA originals just no metal retainers.
We already tried buying just the metal retainers but GM doesn't sell them.

so what is the best bet to do if you don't have any metal retainers.

The retainers come on some center caps. eBay Motors: 87-92 FIREBIRD TRANS AM GTA WS6 CENTER CAPS NEW BLACK (item 370080182838 end time Sep-22-08 12:22:10 PDT)
But then it gets pricey when you have to buy some Buick center cap decals seperately.

 

[ALVAROG1983]

70.00 Is Pricey

"ALVAROG1983", I bought a brand new set of 4 caps from this guy: eBay Motors: 1988-92 PONTIAC FIREBIRD WS6 NEW ALLOY WHEEL CENTERCAPS (item 270273069105 end time Sep-08-08 16:34:16 PDT) and they DID come with the metal retainer clips too. They are a prefect fit!
