Chrome trim ring and bullet center caps & lugs

[Patrick Slegers]

I am looking for chrome trim rings and bullet center caps & lugs that fit the standard 15” steel wheels of my 72 Imperial coupe. Does anyone know where to find the correct center caps & lugs? Because 72 Imperial wheels use a 5.5” bolt pattern.

Hey - welcome! I was the guy complimenting those trim rings and centre caps on FB yesterday - is that you?

As I'm sure you know, your Imperial would only have had full wheel covers, with maybe two choices of covers. However, I think the approach with the trim rings on black rims is excellent.

Likely there are no centre caps that fit your bolt pattern from Mopar... I would suggest your only options are aftermarket (or non-branded GM - perish the thought).

Let's see more pics of your car please!

Many purists will be with you, but I kinda like it!

I always thought the Imps were 5 on 5" not a 5 on 5.5" correct?

5 on 5;

Spider Caps 5 on 5-inch


5 on 5.5

Spider Caps 5 on 5 1/2

I saw your comments on Facebook Ross, but it was not my post or car.

Here’s a picture of my 72 coupe. I don’t like the original wheel covers so at this moment I’m using the 63 covers instead. To be honest, I’m also not totally convinced that I want to go with the bullet center caps & lugs, just exploring all options. All thoughts and suggestions are welcome!

Is it 5 x 5? Not 5 x 5.5?

I thought it may have been two different persons... all good.

Your car looks great, and I like the 63 wheel covers too... however a treatment that incorporates some "iron fist in a velvet glove" type of restrained aggression is something I think looks good on the 69-72 Imp coupes. I look forward to seeing your ideas.

Great looking Imperial!

FWIW, I really like the '63 wheel covers on that car.

Could do a Chevy truck wheel too. 5 on 5" Same vendor that built them for Chrysler. Just have to cover up the bowtie.

Patrick, you don`t have to do anything, your Imperial looks just great like that!!

Ross, only one wheel cover style from 62 onwards with no matter, if the car was either a Custom (the last model year was 63 for this model), Crown or LeBaron.

68-73 Imperials have the 5x5`` bolt pattern, the 55-66s have the 5x5.5`` and 74-75s measure 5x4.5``.

Patrick, yours is a beauty with those 63 covers!

Thanks for clarifying - I wasn't sure. Agreed, that cat looks great with the earlier covers!
