If so then thats perfect, I can keep the centre cap and not have the dart there. Or go to a custom rim shop and get just regular chrome plated plastic caps OR buy OEM Aurora caps from the 2000+ 17" rim. As long as the Aurora cap is the same diameter as the Bonneville rim cap
Whatever works best I assume is what I will do

In either case, you keep your center caps!

Jim, try and seperate the chrome outer piece from the cap and see if you can make a new flat one that could be painted chrome. It looked like the tabs wrapped around the back side of the cap.

Well forget about the Aurora caps
$88.99 per cap...$400 + after taxes...ah no
Back to the drawing board, Radrick just may go with your suggestion in the end
