What did those 20's look like before removing the covers?

Get some center caps, and they'll be perfect. I've had those same wheels for 4 years now, and still get compliments quite often.

How the heck did you mount the center caps? Ive had the center caps painted and sitting here for at least a yr if not more i just cant figure out how to mount them on the wheel when nothing is holding them in. Ive got some ideas but more never hurt..

Looks like in the picture of the caps in the links, they have plastic tabs that keep it in there . Do your have plastic tabs on yours? In one of the links the cap has a metal snap ring that probably helps keep the pressure high so the caps dont fall out.

Those tabs catch nothing on the wheel since the cladding is removed and what they originally attached to. The outside part of the cap (what actually shows) fits the hole diameter nice, just no way to attach them on the back. Im guessing they either bent the tabs or built them up with something to catch the new bigger diameter hole size.. I dunno its been awhile since i messed with mine, i was just curious..
