Wheels with Mustang or Ford center cap?

I've been looking to buy new rims and have had enough of a hard time at doing that. Anyways, I was looking at some concave wheels and finally found some that I really like however I am not a fan of "American Muscle" or other logos in the center and would much prefer a Mustang or Ford or whatever. For example if I get the AMR Charcoal Wheels, are the center caps removable and could I change it into a Mustang logo? Has anyone done it?

supposedly the center caps from the 99-01 "Bullitt" edition wheels are a direct swap.

I used those caps on my '14 GT when I bought '10 GT500 wheels (and didn't want the SVT caps, since my car is not an SVT)....

No, I bought them from the Ford parts department at the dealership I work at. Had to buy order the center caps separately (like TheDivaDanielle mentioned, they're from the earlier Bullitt model). I had the wheels refinished in silver, so they're a bit unique now.

Ford has a couple different styles of center caps (I ordered a few different sets until I got it figured out). Different depths where the O-ring sets, for example.

So let me see if I understand it correctly: the wheels are AMR, the center caps are OEM.

Do you know what the part numbers were of those center caps? I don't want to re-invent the wheel ;-)

Thanks for the trouble!

No the wheels are OEM GT500 wheels too. He had then redone in silver. You can find these center caps anywhere, just search 99-04 Mustang Tri-Bar center caps...
