Jim.... I've got a solution to your problems.
If you can't get the Pontiac symbol off the center caps, and you can't find/make an Olds/Aurora cap....

Put the rims on a Pontiac.... like mine
Problem solved

hehe.... sorry... couldn't help it...

Do you have a close up pix of what the center cap looks like? (off the rim)

Jim,

Here is an example of what I was talking about. Granted, these are for Buicks, but you can start looking for places that have emblems for roras or that will make something custom.

Default looking for the center caps for aerolyte wheels

I have the same wheels but mine are white, I'm interested in looking for a set of 4 with the gold lettering that says antilocking brakes on it like the factory ones. 3 of mine are worn down but one still looks good.
