94blackstang Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I upgraded my car from 17x9 Saleens to staggered Saleens from American Muscle. The rims came with a center cap that has their logo on it and I'm looking to change them out. I've heard that there is nothing available in the saleen logo for these rims but wanted to see if anyone has these rims and what my options are.

Det_Riot Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xsaleen+center+cap&_nkw=saleen+center+cap&_sacat=0&_from=R40Know a vinyl guy? he can cut you a vinyl and just put it over top. @PRPVinyl, you ever do center cap decals?

94blackstang Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yeah I've looked on eBay but didn't know if they would work, AM rims have a deeper inset for the caps to sit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-Oh Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Or you can do it the real expensive way like I did and order Saleen center caps, remove the thin metal logo layer and glue it onto other caps that fit in the wheels.Sent from Space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall seeing a repro sallen cap for aftermarket wheels just cant recall where I saw them though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWillyWalker Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Those AM center caps are lame and they aren't flat so I called AM and got some plain/flat black center caps. I had a local vinyl shop make me some 2-1/2" decals to fit on the caps with the Saleen logo. It's not ink though. They put a blue vinyl on top of a black vinyl but so far it's holding up. Just cost me $25. Best picture I could find: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95opal Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Op Pm 69clark he has the saleen template already. Im sure he'd make you some at a fair price. If your caps aren't black don't worry as he'll cut a black cap then the logo.These are mine when they first went on in 07, they still look like day one now. I did shoot clear over them when I did it.

94blackstang Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I had a problem with the e-brake bracket rubbing a little when pulling out of the driveway. Pulled bracket off and cut it. Yet to try it out, work keeps getting in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
