Lightbulb hub cap for aftermarket wheels?

I just picked up some winter tires on 16" aftermarket rims for $220 CDN. Steal of a deal. I'm looking for a universal solution anyone might know about for our bolt pattern. Cant find anything on amazon or ebay thats under $100. Just need something to cover my rusty hubs.


I managed to manually centre the tire since the rims arent hubcentric. Took it on a 100km/h drive and no vibrations. But i've ordered some 82mm to 70.3mm adapter rings just to be safe. Looking to order some cheap hub caps so I dont have to take my wheels off more than I need to.

You might try the salvage yard, and check out some of the stock s10 pickup/blazer options.
I have some Iroc Camaro rims that I was trying to "customize". I grabbed one of any center cap I thought looked close in size. Ended up getting some actual Iroc center caps, and a set of caps off some ZQ8 wheels.

Yeah will most likely take a look next time im at the scrap yard. Ended up just throwing the lug nut hub cap cover on from my stock rims for now.

By the way, the aluminum 'cover' of that particular center cap will pry off, revealing a black abs plastic underneath.
