Matching center caps on American Muscle and factory Bullit wheels
Has anyone figured out how to match up the center caps when running the factory bullits on the front (which use the small caps) while running the American Muscle bullits on the rear (which use the large caps)? The tires I have on the front wheels are almost new and I don't see any reason to change the front wheels just to run wider tires out back. Well, other than being able to get the stupid center caps to match. I understand I'm not the first person to run into this. Any ideas?

You can get a running pony caps for the stock Bullit wheels and also get a pair for the American Muscle wheels. One cap fits on the outside (front) and other will fit on the inside (rear).

I will sell you the complete set of these spinners from BRS. They chrome are metal swept spinners with pony center caps. I have the 2 damaged center caps being replaced, they should be here next week. I let the whole lot go for $120 shipped.

I modified the crappy center caps that came with my American Muscle /Mustang Performance 18x10 back wheels to match my stock fronts. I bought an extra pair of Ford center caps, cut the plastic tangs off and sanded the backs flat with sandpaper on my kitchen table. I roughed up and sanded the plexiglass face of the larger caps and simply two-part-epoxied the ford caps on top, leaving a little space.
It's not like the Ford caps are anything special, but I like them and wanted the rears to match. Since the Ford caps sit on the face of the stock wheels, it was easy to match on the aftermarket wheels.
They match perfectly, and it's been several thousand miles [and a few 1/4 mile runs] and they are fine... A guy asked me at the track where I got them...
There's an older thread about this too...

Hey Mike, I remember that thread. Glad to hear your idea worked! Looks like that's what I'll be doing. Thanks for the post. Btw, I like the way the stock caps match my satin silver. I think they look good too.

One of my co-workers has a yellow Force Five Cobra replica with the flush caps [same company's wheels], and though the car is flawless, it bugs me to look at them... LOL Who else even notices?
