My biggest heartburn is that they shipped 3 17" wheels and 1 18" wheel rather than my actual order of 17s and 18s. They also shipped the wheels 10 days after their promised ship date. In their defense I only gave them 3 weeks notice and wheels typically take 4-6 weeks, but the first rule in business is the under promise and over deliver vice over promise and under deliver. If you can't meet the deadline, tell your customer early.

I bought a spare set of wheel centers from PI Motorsports for my clones purchased from them. I would imagine that the center opening is a standard size, I'm thinking about 2". They are made of chrome plated plastic and I glued the new logos (black) into them although they snapped in very tight and probably didn't need any glue. There is an o-ring on the center cap that keeps them in place on the wheel. I used a little silicone spray to remove and reinstall them. I had considered machining a set out of aluminum but it was too easy to buy a set.

Sorry guys for dragging up this old thread but I have this issue with mine. So if I am reading this correctly Dennis Quella has the caps I need but has plastic logo emblems ? And for the metal ones source from Hall ?
So if I understand correctly. the Hall caps press fit in to the rims. And than the standard size logos fit with the normal size retaining clips ?

As far as my wheel shown above the Hall cap sits right on that small inside ridge of the wheel, then I slip the cap into that spot with a little silicone on the back edge and then the snap ring goes on next to also keep the cap in place. Now with my wheels anyway, the snap ring size is almost equal to the cap diameter so in one instance when I had new tires put on I lost a cap when riding on the road somewhere. So to make the snap ring have a little more thickness I put in a very thin wire before installing the snap ring and that worked perfect. Who knows maybe that dab of silicone would have worked alone but since the ring was already there I just modded it and used it too. In the photo below it shows the status of the wheel when the cap fell out so you can see the ring needed to be a bit thicker. My wheels may be different, but just saying that's how I got mine to work.
Thank you Does 200. I called Hall and spoke with Gary's granddaughter. Unfortunately, she does not recall this product ever being available from them. Or maybe you bought yours before she started working there?
I tried PIM, contacted Jerry and the only thing he has available is the same Coddington like billet dome type but with the Isis logo. I guess I will try other venders.

Just got mine a couple weeks ago, Hall has hundreds of the caps. I think she must have misunderstood what you wanted. Give her a call again, Wheel Center Logos shown below:
I think there is some confusion in this thread regarding terms being used
does200 refers to the flat emblems as caps. But 4134 uses the term caps to refer to the large center cap that fills the wheel center hole
The flat ….emblems….., available in different styles, are readily available from HALL Pantera.
what I think 4134 is having problems with is that his current center …..cap…… the large piece that fits in the center of the wheel, is designed for a larger emblem and will not support the standard hall emblem
I think 4134 is looking for a replacement cap that is correct for his current wheel centers and for the hall emblems or perhaps an adapter that could convert his existing caps to accept the HALL emblems
did I get this right?
I would imagine that somewhere in the custom wheel world there are adapters made it to accomplish what 4134 desires. Unfortunately I do not have any knowledge of who that might be

My old friend Larry is correct. What I am needing is a cap that will accommodate the Isis logo center. The Etsy option may work, but there is only a very small maybe 2mm ridge that the logo center would rest on and require epoxy to attach. And maybe some silicon adhesive on the back to hopefully keep it in place. Will it work probably? But I would much rather find a "cap" that fits the rim and a traditional logo center piece will mount on. I have sent an e-mail to Adam at Pantera Performance and hopefully they can help. The pics are what I have currently.

Didn’t Does200 already say that PIM has Isis logo center caps for Coddington wheels? You might want to start there.
All Jerry at PIM has is the same billet caps that Coddington wheels have now. The only difference is the engraved Isis logo.
This appears to be exactly what I need if Quella still has them.
If Dennis doesn't have them, just take a logo and one of your Coddington center caps to a machine shop and tell them what you want.
Jeff,

this was posted earlier in the thread. Don’t know if you opened it to look at it but they offer a vast selection of different diameters for their emblems. I am thinking one of their larger sizes might glue into your existing caps?
Larry, the Coddington center caps have a dome in the center. He would need to have the dome machined off. That would probably leave a hole in the center but as long as there was some flat material left, to stick a logo to, it would be fine. He just needs to tell the machine shop what he's trying to accomplish.
