Spinner end caps

Does anyone know where I can get some spinner end caps that go on wheels? I was told they would not fit my 2011 they were for the older models
Thank you .

I've got a set in the garage, but I don't know if they'll work or not. What wheels do you have?

I am sure Ford has not expanded it's application information to include later model year wheels but most of the regular center caps carry over. From what I understand the regular center caps (blue oval, tri-bar pony, newer pony without tri-bar) are a standard size and used on various styles and sizes of the Ford factory and accessory wheels. The only thing you have to be mindful of is the clearance of the spinner wings against the spokes on certain wheels. I cannot see in your picture which wheels you have but if you study the pics of my wheels you can see how much clearance is between the spinner wings and wheel spokes.

I found my spinner caps on eBay listed by a Ford dealer as a new set of four.

I have these on my Mustang. Love em! They came off my 2007 GT/CS, so I know they fit an '11 and an '07. The only thing, on the '07 they were easy to take off and put on. On the '11 I had to take the tires off and poke the existing center cap out from behind the wheel.

Oh trust me it was a major PIA to get the original caps out of mine too! I did not feel like taking the wheels off just to pop on spinners so I used a small flathead screwdriver to pry and lift the center cap until I could get another small screwdriver behind it to gain enough leverage to pop them out! I did some damage to three of the original caps doing that but I don't really care. I utilized a 4th cap with no damage to replace the steering wheel emblem of which the black paint flaked off.

Mine are identical to the ones above. So they have the Mustang. I got them for free from a member that lives nearby, so I'd give them away (you pay shipping). Im just waiting on the outcome of a current vehicle replacement I have ongoing with Ford...

(PM me - I dont have subscriptions set up )
