Hey Jeff - Motorsport Auto - the Z vender has caps that fit the EMPI. They
have the 4 bolt pattern, but stick out too much. The PO of my EMPI's cut
them in half and stuck the small outer center into the center of the large
portion and epoxy it in. The cut edge shows but is not that noticable. You
could paint the edge for a "trim ring" effect. You can kind of see the caps
on the SEROC web site - member area - directory - Phil Hall. Hope this
helps.
Phil

Subject: Could've had Panasports...
I bought some NOS empi's instead. I'm finding out those things are hen's
teeth. I got 14 X 6's; they are 8 spoke and similar to Panasports. They do
however require special lug nuts...of which i paid $10 ea. OUCH! They are
special made, stainless steel and require a special key... sorta
oneof's...or sixteenof's?
I am still looking for center caps to fit! Empi doesn't make them
anymore...the one's randomly for sale on ebay go for about $100 a set!
The wheels are nice, two-piece units. One of these days...
Jeff
