At least they will know who’s loyal. Not that many selling these. Funny thing is there was a guy who would customize them for just a bit more money.

Wheels installed and corvette garage emblems on. These decals are the real deal.

Those look great! Hopefully mine will be here in next couple days. Did you use soap or something on them until they were centered so they didn’t stick until you had them where you wanted them

Yep....a soapy solution, a rag and a credit small squeegee......Let the top film stay on for about an hour then peel it off slowly.....

That's what I'd like, but the center caps I have for these wheels has a 2.000" diameter recess, and that logo at 2.250" across wouldn't fit properly.


Thanks for your help, but the search continues . . .

You can see 2 different sizes with the decals. The channel is 2 3/4 wide. The one decal is 1 7/8 the other is 2 1/4. Inside the channel is 2 1/4

I'm wondering if the center caps for my wheel would fit yours? You might consider changing the cap to my style.?


3&3/4 inch from curve to tab

Where you have a 'channel', mine have a flat recess, and I am hard-pressed to say it is much-larger than 2.000" across, 2.0625" at the most.

Have you looked on that auction site. There are some that are 2" in length that can work for you.

Got mine today, will put them on whenever it warms up again. Do you all take the center cap off, if it doesn’t break or do it while it’s on the car. If off how do they pop off. Thanks

I have a pretty good eye and the caps on my aftermarket wheels are not the friendliest. I got mine on a nice warm day last week and they went on well. Since the vinyl adhesive does not like to be fooled with I lined it up with the backing on, then pulled the backing and went slow.

Thanks, I’ll probably just leave the caps on and try to eye it, with a little soap water. Yours look great!
