Hey guys I have a set of black Saleen Style "S" Wheels on my 03 300a, they cam with horrible looking center caps and have wanted to replace them with something like this

http://www.americanmuscle.com/centercap-black-dohc.html?utm_content=centerca p-black-dohc&utm_campaign=SHOPC&utm_source=Shopping_com&utm_medium=Shopping

Problem is the center caps are 2 5/16" and NOWHERE I have seen online has anything in that size. Does anyone know of a place that has 2 5/16th center caps or a person or place that will do custom stick ons in that size??

I would PM gdmjoe. IIRC he made a post some time ago on center cap option's with various size cap's and wheel types

He's a very knowledgable guy.

Best bet would be to search eBayŽ using criteria like ... [ saleen center cap ]
[ center cap decal ]
etc., etc., etc..2-5/16" isn't a standard size for 2003+ Panther center caps.

thanks for the responses guys, I have checked out alot of places and it seems easiest bet is buying stick ons and cutting them down to the right size. I have been all over the mustang sites because the wheels were made for a mustang and they have the same problems.

does the Horrible center cap that goes to those wheels have writing on them? is it raised lettering or recessed? if raised sand till all same level...smooth, if recessd smear a little polyester (red lead) to fill sand all smooth...paint black-gloss or satin...whichever you prefer, goto your local sign shop pick out a font similar to the one in the pic and have him cut you some decals out of sign vynil...in whatever color/finish(brushed stainless/chrome)you want....snap em on...call it a day!
