    I know theres lots of these threads and i tried searching and even googling it, but everything ive seen has been about caps for other wheels, and mustangs
    so my question is where can i get center caps for the factory wheels?
    my wheels are gonna be black soon so im looking for back caps with a white arrowhead,
    i know im probably gonna have to find black caps and get RC the make inlays, but i dont know where to look, or what size to get
    thanks

    Why not just go to a junk yard and buy 4 GP ones, then paint them? I remember trying to find a place that sold them, but I didn't know my new rims already had them. Which was good cause I couldn't find them anywhere. Also don't buy GTO center caps thinking they will fit.....
    Its just a car.......with rust and dreams for the future!!!!

    one is messed up
    but i think an overlay may cover it,
    does anyone sell them or are they custom made?

    I would get something like Silver, Black, whatever the color of the rim is, and a point to point to point Pontiac Emblem in a accent color of your choosing, or just a nice detailed basic red design.

    EDIT: just like ^^^

    This is what my center caps were before.



    And this is what they look like now.



    I took a caliper and found out the diameter of the inner center caps and sent Talia @ HouseofGrafx the pic and size, and I got my set.

    Well get it done... whatchoo waiting for?

    Also on the messed up center cap, look at a junkyard like previously stated. Or get some sand paper, and sand down and rough edges and crap. Overlay is gonna cover up minor scuffs, but not gashes.

    im going to clean'em really well and sand up the top to give the overlay something to grab on too, the part that messed up is the tab on the inside that holds it into the wheel, i fixed it from the inside of the wheel just not sure about getting it out and in again
    oh and what am i waiting for?
    waiting to get home, so i can start working and washing my car, and try to get all the yankee off of it

    You can print your own center cap overlays. Papilio has sample adhesive backed waterproof vinyl for inkjet printers(~$6.50 shipped). I printed, let it dry over night and stuck it on the center caps then 8 coats of clear.
