Hey guys,

I got a pretty good deal on these rims and tires on eBay last year but the rims came with no center caps. The guy claimed these are American Racing Ventura 17" rims. The only problem is - American Racing doesn't make them in 17" anymore, and hasn't for probably over 5 years now. I guess I could just get some center caps that would fit a 17" Am. Racing wheel but I'd rather know for sure that what I'm buying will fit and I won't have to return. Can you help me out? Take a look @ the pics!

Thanks!!

I'm sorry man, but those are MF hideous. I'd sell them and buy something else. Not worth the work to try to find center caps for those IMO.

But if you really want to keep those wheels, I think you're going to have to find a "universal" type center cap.

Also, those look slightly diff then the pics on summit, the wheels on summit appear to have more of a lip. Flip the wheel over and see if it shows the part number.

Sorry man i'd have to agree that those are nasty.

But have you tryed calling the company? There tech department should be able to tell you if any of there other center caps will fit.

If not I'd just make some.

OK I get it, I like them, no one else does.

Guess I'll try calling Am.Racing Monday. How would I make my own??

have any buddys that work @ machine shops???

Just measure out the size of the circle and have them cut you out 4 out of aluminum for ur center caps. Then just figure out a way to fasten them to ur wheels.

Just wondering... but how much did you pay for them? I would take stock 16s over those any day.

Also, I'm telling you man. Flip over the wheel and look inside the spokes etc and see if it says a part number. They may not even be american racing wheels. But, if they are the american racing wheels. The center caps summit has for the 15s/16s may fit your 17s.

If they still make the wheel in any size the center caps should be the same, atleat it makes sense in theory.

I paid $450 for all 4 with the Kumho Ecsta ASTs mounted on them that were almost new. I can totally live with them, believe me - even if y'all are haterz Just need to get the center caps!

Thanks for the productive feedback to those who gave it
