Please don't flame me.This is just a thought I had.Do any of you think that if I remove my center caps will I be able to install the spinner caps.I if can with no perment mods I might like to see how they look.

There was a guy on the C3registry that had done it, I don't remember how hard it was, but they looked decent....

I'll do it if they fit but I haven't found out yet if they are a direct bolt on or not.If they are I'm there.

Ahhh.... I hope that they are the ones you need. Seeing something different on our rims is nice.

I saw a pic somewhere of a Collector with the spinner mounted right on the center cap and it looked pretty good. Just another idea!

I've never heard of a wheel cap that bolts on the lug nuts. But maybe someone did. You never know. :?:

Good Luck and I'll try helping out is seeing anything like this.

Update: I think looking through my mags I see some that bolt but not sure if it's the ones you are looking for or already seen in Mid America, Corvette Central, etc.

If you can't locate a person with them. Buy the spinners and try to see if they are good. If not, see what the return policy is on the company you buy them from.
