Are these the same wheels and if so is it possible to find the center caps? Any idea what brand of wheels they are? Thanks for any input

The ones in the second picture are different then the first. I know where 6 or 7 of them are.

A guy named Brett (Boats and Blondes) has them and wants to sell them. Wheels are in good shape, and the tires are in good shape as well. His phone # is 209-345-6553 . He's banned from RDP, and I think the guy is bipolar. That said those wheels are hard to find, and he's got them. Give him a call and good luck..

Edit: 4 center caps....

I believe they are Unique brand wheels. I had them on my Nordic trailer. No longer made. I did have a few extra of the caps, I will need to look around.

If you have center caps, I know Monstrous wants one. He bought that 32 Spectra and it's missing one!

The original ones were made by cragar in the mid to early 80's. The ones I remember actually said cragar in small print on the center cap.

Do you happen to know what the model name of the Cragars was(might make it easier on my search) Thanks so much

I have a set of 4 also. The wheels are a little rusty, but the plastic caps are in good shape. The wheels may be able to be cleaned up?

can I buy just the caps from you? Thanks

Let me go pull them and make sure they are ok. I haven't looked at them in some time. :thumbup:

Also, I'm in far Nor-Cal, but will be at Irwindale mid June if by chance you wanted the wheels as spares.

I'm in Texas so I would need you to ship them to me if you wouldn't mind. I will pay for that also of course. Greatly appreciated

I have them on my trailer.

Mine must be some kind of knock off that Carson was buying. They have no identifying marks at all. I would like a spare but haven't started looking.

Originals were Cragar.

I went on eBay and purchased a Centex center cap. It was in Huntington Bch. Price was fair and delivery was fast.

The center caps on these rims are like Gold and hard to find. I had them on my Schiada. The caps will come off unless you glue them to the RIM. They will come off just driving down the road or come off when the boat is launched. The water fills up and pops off the cap. I like the look but knowing what I know I would never put them on a trailer I own. Last time I was able to find the caps they were about $75 each. ebay

The center caps on Monstrous' trailer have an opening in the center. Different than the ones shown earlier that are solid. A black plastic cover is pressed into it and sits over the bearings.
