    I have here some center caps. Unfortunately i only have (3) of each type, not sure where the other ones ended up.

    (3) Ford chrome center caps for the Steel PI wheels. 5 X 4.5" pattern. These are not perfect, but they are in very nice shape for their age. I gave them a halfass cleanup, they should be able to polish out nicely. The inserts that snap onto the lug nuts are all intact. No lug nuts included.
    I'd like to sell all 3 at once, $30 for all 3, plus actual shipping.

    (2) round Mercury "flying hockey stick" center caps. The chrome on these is worse than i thought, which is a bummer so i'm asking only for actual shipping on those. Great to throw on a winter beater just to protect the lug nuts, or for a zombie apocalypse build lol.

    i'm not sure how much the shipping is, i'll need to get that info once someone shows interest.

    Additional pictures available upon request, thanks for reading tell your friends!

          Has anyone fitted these onto turbines? Is it even possible considering how these attach?

            The Mercury caps in the first post I believe would have a gap between the wheel and the cap. I'm not sure what lug nuts those require, but probably the collared lug nuts like the Ford caps?
            The Ford caps in the second post could probably work if you have 3 of the collared lug nuts per wheel to attach those caps.
            Now I kind of what to take my '98 Mountaineer center caps and see if they would fit a turbine wheel with the collared lug nuts. Although my only car that can run 15 inch wheels may not be able to at some point since I have the parts for the big brake swap.

            For an idea of the lug nuts that I'm referring to, there was a little center cap discussion here: https://www.grandmarq.net/vb/forum/t...41#post1177641 The post or two before that also had some center cap discussion. Same deal on whatever year Mountaineer caps were shared there. The original wheels were designed in a way that the lug nuts are in a recessed center like those Aero Mercury caps in the OP. So same gap problem on turbines and steelies.

              IIRC, the turbines have wells for the individual lugs rather than the whole area hogged out like the aero alloys. They may not be large enough for the shoulder nuts to allow these caps to sit on.
