AZ_L320 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I just bought these wheels and looking for a set of center caps that will work with them. Was told they are Carrol Shelby wheels which I think were made by Minilite. The Center is 2.75" (2 3/4). If you have something or any suggestions please let me know. I did find some generic chrome cone type caps on Ebay, but not sure if they will work? Thanks, Dale Link to comment

ggzilla Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 You could call them Minilite-type or Minilite-style. Panalights are perhaps the most common clones available new in many different sizes. Shelby wheels are not made by Minilite, they are two separate companies. Minilite originally only made 10" and 12" wheels and were very light. You might be able to fit the factory 'D' caps, I put them on my shelby slots. There are four styles of D caps, some are larger around than these, some have color and some are fancier: Link to comment

Was told they are Shelby wheels. I need to clean the back real good and look for "CSI" markings (Carroll Shelby Inc). Those caps would look good it they come in 2.75" I have a set of these D center caps above Drewsdime, what size do you have? I would need some to fit a 2.75" hole. Dale Link to comment
