Wheel centercaps? February 14, 2006, 09:04:55 PM I am wondering if anyone knows of some Thunderbird centercaps that will fit this wheel style. I got an awesome deal on them, but if I have to live with the running horses, I guess that will be ok until I get the set of wheels I really want. Quote Selected

Wheel centercaps? Reply #4 – February 15, 2006, 02:56:03 PM Hmm, body filler would be possible, becuase mine are actually the painted wheels. I just stole that pic off of ebay cause it was the best example. I could fill it in, repaint, and then put a vynl (sp?) sticker of the 'Bird in the center! How about that idea? Quote Selected
What about this type Reply #5 – February 24, 2006, 07:48:53 PM center caps will these work on those rims let me know Quote Selected

Wheel centercaps? Reply #7 – February 24, 2006, 09:30:57 PM they look like the ford centers off the mustang 10 holes, if so, they dont fit, along with mn12 centers ect. Quote Selected
Wheel centercaps? Reply #8 – February 24, 2006, 09:49:28 PM Yeah, I think the body filler, and a repaint is going to be the easiest thing to do. Quote Selected
Wheel centercaps? Reply #9 – February 26, 2006, 03:00:12 AM The Pony wheel from Mustangs will fit those rims. You can find them in blanks with no emblem, but getting them to look polished like the rim would be the hard part. Quote Selected
Wheel centercaps? Reply #10 – February 27, 2006, 12:25:39 AM why not have the thunderbird emblem cut through into the cap slightly larger then the pony? What i mean is basicly cut the pony out and have a hole through the cap in the shape of a thunderbird emblem...would look pretty trick of someone were to figure out how to backlight the hole after...
