Can anyone point me in the direction to find the below hub cap or at least identify the wheel manufacture and style or name of wheel to help me locate a hub cap for it. The wheels were purchased new in the 80's by my late father. The hub cap is plastic and says made in Taiwan. I could not find any markings on the wheels. Thanks!

They look vintage so its hard to tell. You can possibly contact a company like AKH wheels and ask if they have any idea. They have a lot of old wheel catalog information. akhwheels.com

Doing things wrong, until I get it right.
Not to seam like an ass, but they look like pretty generic caps. Can you not find 4 other caps that fit the rims. Maybe off of something that has a 6.5' centercap (second pic/inner ring that fits in the wheel). it may take a little fab work, but surely can be done. Those are about the size center caps that came off of my Lincoln Town Car, just sayin...

Thanks Ranger850,

I may have to resort to that kind of thing. I was just hoping someone out there would know where to find an original. I have even thought about 3D printing. That would probably cost an arm and leg though.

Found out the wheel manufacturer is Empco. It is the same wheel that James Duff had on their Bronco II in the 80s. Does anyone have a line on center caps for Empco wheels? Thanks.
