View Full Version : How universal are Ford center caps?

Given the scarcity of the real MM wheel center caps, I've been looking at other Ford caps, ANYTHING more interesting than the flat bland piece of plastic I have now.

Can anyone vouch for whether or not center caps from Mustangs in the 99-04 range or 05-09 range especially, or really any modern Ford, will fit with our rims?

Personally. I would just bite the bullet and spend the extra money on the real deal. I cant imagine anything but the real deal. Good luck on your search.

I've found some real cheap tri-spoke caps from a 05-09 Mustang, I think I'm gonna try to photoshop it to see if it'll look ridiculous. That's why I had Mustang fit in mind in particular.

They're intended for the Bullitt rims and will not fit. *None of the center caps for the Bullitt style rims will fit.

I know of what I speak.

Joe, does that plain one fit? If so, I'll have to get me some, kinda personalize them.

Paul T. Casey - Joe, does that plain one fit?
Yes ( it fits ) *Found a set that I had stashed from back in the '80's.

HOWEVER ... At $24.08 each ( as per RoyLPita ), I'd recommend you get a set of these for your personalize effort(s) ...

for $41 ( for 4 ) from .....

*They're plain aftermarket replacements for the LX Sport center cap ( which fits the Marauder rim ... *.pic' above ).

Who said the stockers are scarce? I just ordered a set from Ray this week and I paid less than most of those previously listed in this thread.
