Center Cap Question

I just ordered these wheels from OE Wheels on Ebay. 17" x 9.5" ZR1 and had a question about center caps. I wanted to order these from SLP, I just wanted to know if anyone can confirm that they will fit. I imagine they will, but I don't want to be stuck with them if they don't, and I certainly don't want the 'Vette ones the wheels come with. Red w/ Black "SS" Center Caps

Center Cap Answer

The picture on the SLP website is blown up and looks like the caps will be too big. They are for a ZR1 rim and will fit. Any rim questions, its better to ask someone that has tried it because you cant always the right answer from SLP. Example... the chrome caps from a 10 spoke SS wheel will fit a stock z28 wheel despite what SLP says.

From: Hell was full so they sent me to NJ
When I bought my AFS ZR1 replicas, they came with a Corvette emblem on the center cap. It was just a thick plastic "stick-on" that peeled right off and left a plain black ring on the cap. Eventually, I had Brent Franker make me a set of overlays for the center caps, consisting of a red Pontiac arrow head. If you could live with a single color SS emblem, that would be the easiest way to solve the problem.
