hatchsub Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Hello everyone, Yesterday i went into town fair tire to get my wheels balanced and rotated. When i got home i realized that i was one center cap short. It had fallen off on the way home! I have an 83 subaru that currently has 82 LX alloy wheels on it. Could anyone please help me locate a center cap? If worst comes to worst I'll buy the entire wheel. Here is a picture of what my wheels look like. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/wheels2/4spokemag.jpg Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subi81 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 did you make sure the tire place didn't forget to put it on. Sometimes it happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I would first go back to the tire store to make sure they dont have it. If they dont, I would retrace the route you took on the way back and look for it. That centercap is going to be hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 the tire place said that they had fiddled around with it cause it seemed loose. They looked for it but couldn't find it so i assume that it fell off on the way home. I retraced my route three or four times with no luck. Maybe if it was a hubcap i would find it but a centercap is kinda small to see on the side of the road. so again if anyone knows where i could find one that would be great. If i cant find the center cap at all...would anyone know where i could get another set of vintage subaru alloys. I really like the four spoke design from 84. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I'd suggest you try to find another centercap, but if you can't I have a set of the 4 spoke alloys from 1984. They are for sale and I can ship them out. I typically get $100 plus shipping for the older alloy wheels. If that works for you drop me a PM and I'll get you some more info. the tire place said that they had fiddled around with it cause it seemed loose.
