Center Cap Differences?

Featured Replies

I went to the junkyard today to look around and found 2 brand new sets of center caps and lug nuts. The center caps are different so I wanted to see if anyone knew why. I thought Subaru only made one style of center cap.

DAMN I hate seeing my Axle nut.... I guess I will have to live with IT! :mad:

These are the ones that came on my white parts brat when I bought it. The thing hadn't been driven since '93.

The red one looks like (same shape) the ones on my chrome wagon wheels, except mine have a black logo on a white field.

I've never seen those kind before? All i've seen are the flat aluiminum ones for the Loyale and the other one's are a little more cone like for the 88-89 GL!

 

I'd like to get the one's for the GL but the Loyale has that centering ring in the rear so they won't fit!! I guess i'll have to get the stock Loyale ones! Or nothingm at all!

They should fit, have you ever tested them on your wheels?

No? Some guy has them on his Green and white GL!! Remember the one with the solar panale? Well he said then won't fit??

Personally, I'd still try it if you can find some. I'm not too much on taking people's word on something until I at least try it. Your car has the silver steelies right?

Yeah the silver steelies! I know i'm the same way! I have to do it even if someone say's it won't work! Unless it's something really notisable! Yeah if could find four i'd put them on!!:headbang:

I've only got about 15 of the ea81 style:lol: . I also have a few of those steelies here too. too bad I don't have an ea82 rear barke drum though to give them a good test... I could test on the steelie/ea81 drum tomorrow

 

 

EDIT::: I'll take a center cap with me if I go junk yarding tomorrow...

Is that EA81 the same as the EA82? Because the EA82 has a centering ring molded with the drum cover! But you can give it a try!:)

 

It's you dime! Hahaha!

Its just my time, lol. I've got all the stuff laying around here. The ea81 drums have the same thing in the center. So, I'll see what happens, you might have some centercaps.

I know that both of them fit on my 1990 loyal turbo (rear disk). I just can't believe that I fount 2 brand new sets sitting in the back of a wagon at the junkyard. They were still wrapped up. I can't wait to put them on my freshly painted rims. I'm going to give the other set to my buddy. So I guess that the smoother one with the bigger logo in the center are from gen 3 subarus and the other is from a gen 2.

Yeah that's good about the cap's you found! But i'm not talking about those kind! :)

Hey Shanon, Not to rush ya or sound like a wongleflute, But what did you find out about those caps?:)

I haven't stepped out of my house yet. Getting ready to though. I'll report back later on.
