Try eBay for the center caps. I have a set of Fenton aluminum slots on my '76 SS. I bought them 10 years ago, and recently found center caps for them on eBay. Love the look of them old wheels, and you don't see them much anymore.

Good Luck!

I'm running a 30 year old set of ET's. You can see them on page three of my album (http://www.elcaminocentral.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album199&op=modload&name=Gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php&page=1). I love the old school look, and always get comments on them.

I have one spare "ET" center cap. It has a green background, but the ones on the Elky are all black background. I haven't seen any on eBay, but I'll bet the come up from time to time. Probably when I'm not looking.

I'm running 275/60's on the back with a tread width of 9 inches. I have room for about another 1 1/2 inches on the outside and 1 inch on the inside of the wheel well without hitting. I'd love to go a little wider, like a 50 series tire. Now that is old school. I love it. 8)

Evening Rob. While on my '73, I have the factory air shocks (talk about real old school), how about some air bags for your Elky? Just raise it enough to keep the clearance issue solved? I for one like that a$$ in the air rear end, but that is me. I plan on replacing the air shocks with air bags in the near future.

Just a thought.
