I measured the center caps from the nissan which if i remember correctly were 3.25 inchs and went online there was a couple of places with center caps that gave you the measurement size but they were expensive but it at least gave me an idea what to look for. I then went on ebay and looked at chevy center caps that gave dimensions and found a set they are just a slight bit loose but a little silicone around the edge will handle that im just waiting to get them painted.

yeah but the ones i bought have a metal spring ring inside and only a few of the teeth to hold it in but the metal ring kinda helps push out the teeth to hold the edges my body guy said he will also use something to help hold it in there. I believe these are hubcentric as well so using a thru the lug balancing method should balance them better and not disturb the center cap I hope lol

Mine were loose on my truck as well. I made an o-ring by take a piece of vacuum hose and super glueing the right length together, trust me it will hold. I then placed the oring on from the inside of the rim once the cap was in place. I pushed it around the tabs and the metal ring mentioned earlier. Snug fit, doesn't rattle, and can easily be removed with a screwdriver, therefore no silicon mess.

here is what i am going to do for my rims.
First i sanded down the center part until it was about half of the thickness.
Then, cut some 1/8"" aluminum to a rough circle then used a disc sander to sand it to just under the diameter of the center cap.
I am planning on powdercoating or painting the rims so i will epoxy the aluminum discs on after that.
