I have been working with several places to get SS decals for the center caps on 10 spoke wheels.

I have looked at the prototype and it looks good. The way it will work is this;
You get either a chrome or silver disc to go on the center cap depending on which wheels you have.

Then you get the SS in the color of your choice either solid or just outline and that goes on the disc.

The idea being that you don't have to try to peel off the old bowtie.

I have a set of four coming soon for the final "fitting" and then they will be available to everyone, the cost will be about $20 (or less depending on the number ordered) for the set.

As soon as we're set, I'll post again.

We're working on getting some Navy Blue vinyl overlays for ours.....

The orange is hard to cover up, so it's still a work in progress....

Do you have white circles with Navy Blue letters available?

I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem.

Hey gang, let me know if you're interested so I can get a sense of how many we'll need.

I'm interested, but we'll need 6 of them (have to take care of the SST, too).

What will prevent the circles from peeling up at the edges?

Got the decals in yesterday (they look great so far) and will be installing today, will have the report and pictures in the next day or so.

To answer your questions Teri, the white is not a problem and I am expecting that the adhesive and fit of the center discs will make them hold just fine. I'll be sure to check that during the evaluation.

OK gang, got them installed yesterday and they look great! Anyone with chrome or painted 10 spokes really ought to try these.

I took pics of the decals, the install steps and the results and will have them ready to post in a few days.

What's the diameter of those decals?

I'm wondering if it's the same size as the centercaps for the '97 17" Anniversary Edition wheels.

Teri, they're 56mm but the guy said he could do different size discs if necessary.
