Center Caps for Steelies

[79Civic]

I am wondering if anyone has a source for the old push in center caps that were common place on the old Civics. I had them on my '79 and want to put them on my steelies on my Accord.

Any help would be great!

The noob,

The Steelies on your 3g Accord will have smaller hub centers than the older 4x120 steelies, I'm pretty sure. I've got some H center caps of various types. The good news is the ones that fit your 3g steelies are fairly common.

These will be the ones that fit: 1988 96 Honda Civic DX Center Caps Steel Set Hub Caps 13" 14" Wheels Rims EF EG | eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-96-Honda-Civic-Dx-Center-Caps-Steel-Set-Hub-Caps-13-14-Wheels-Rims-EF-EG-/261188804293?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cd010dec5&vxp=mtr)

Now, if you can help me find the 14 inch beauty rings that fit those wheels, that would be awesome!

Yeah, beauty rims would be cool too! I'm runnin 13" right now. Think I'll just go with the silver painted lips for now.

My '93 Civic had the caps that will fit. And according to this Honda Bolt Pattern Guide - Vehicle Lug Reference (http://www.vehicle-bolt-pattern.com/honda-lug-reference-guide.html) they will fit if I can find a set. Need to call the dealership and see if they have the newer ones available still.

I need to call the dealership again and see if they have those newer caps. They were black where as the ones on my 79 were red...nothing and oven and some enamels can't

You will probably have to remove the dust caps on the rear hubs or the caps will hit,they are sealed bearings anyway, im running geo storm steelies,same as the prism, paint them argent silver,add beauty rings,and you have 14 inch steelies that look like 70s honda wheels, they fit the 88 91 civic crx caps

Yep, the 93 Civic ones should fit nicely. I think they're the same as the ones in that auction I linked you to. :)

the 88-91 caps is on the left, the early cap is on the right, later caps have four tabs earlier caps have three, and are slightly narrower, it looks like the tabs could be bent outward slightly,maby wrapped with a little electrical tape and tapped in with a mallet http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b205/moultriemanicmechanic/IMG_0131.jpg

Damn John, the ones on that eBay posting are in great condition! I paid $20 for a set that weren't half as nice...
