Western Turbine (sometimes reffered to Cyclone) II Center Caps wanted WTB 1970's

[dennisspeaks]

I am looking for a 1, 2, 3 or a full set of Center Caps for my Western Turbine II wheels.  Anyone have any? 

Thanks,

Dennis

I bought my Western's from Honest John's in Justin, TX.  They didn't have the original center caps, but they were able to dig up a set of Cadillac centers that fit nicely and look great.  Here's a picture after getting the wheels restored and on the car:

Have no idea what the original application was.

Thanks hornetball for your reply.  They are not originals but look great and I would definitely use them if I can find out what application they are off of.  If anyone knows please chime in and let me know.

I found my wheels on craigslist about half an hour where I live, a guy sold his 68 Eldorado and I was able to get the wheels with no certercaps.

You might give Honest John's a call with a link to the photos.  They probably have more.

I already reached out to them via email

It appears they are off 93-95 Sevilles with aluminum wheels.

you could try any local salvage yard,they usually have boxes of these caps,might take a bit of digging,or try a pick and pull yard,lots of times this stuff is tossed in the trunk or back seat.You couls even put a ad on marketplace looking for them,craigs list is a good spot too.harveyb

That's exactly what I did yesterday once armed that they are from 94-95ish Sevilles, I found 3 on my first trip at a whopping cost of $15 plus tax.

You did well,they used to list at 199.00 from the dealers,says they are discontinued now,there was a different cap as well,it did not have the raised lip like yours have,a bit plainer looking?.Good luck,hope you can find another one. harveyb

Thanks to you Hornetball, I now have at least three caps that look good and I know what car to look for with caps that look great.

I had found the originals for $100 but they were all damaged and most repair shops would not touch them, found one guy would fix for $125 a piece.

Your Eldo looks great!  What a beautiful piece of automotive machinery.  If i didn't know better I would say that those center caps came with the wheels.
