79’ SE center caps - hex or round centercaps
« on: April 12, 2022, 11:57:36 PM »
Hi,

Did the 15x7 wheels come with round center caps and the 15x8 with hex or was this an option to choose from?

Thanks in advance

Hex were Turbo wheels in '79, then all in '80-81. '77 -79 snowflakes were all stainless round caps. Original or not, the symmetry is messed up adding a hexagonal centre to a polygon wheel design of 5 lugnuts and spoke details that follow those. Less for turbo rims but still apply. Many don't care, do what you you like.

A Camaro looks like it could kick your ass.
A Trans Am looks like it's coming over to do it

Lol. Like I said.
Mid-year change.
