I have GNX style wheels on an '87 T-Type, and I need a new center cap. I just bought the car, and it was built back in 1990 to be a GNX look alike. LSS, previous owner can't find one missing center cap. How can I identify what wheel it is? I'm hoping most center caps will be the same, but if anyone knows what to look for, I'd greatly appreciate it. TIA.

Can you post a pic? Most factory GNX type wheels have a GM part number cast into them. Plus they either say front or rear on them. A pic would come handy if it was an aftermarket ARE/Enkei style wheel.

Those are the Enkei style rims.

These are the GTA style rims.

The center caps pop up on eBay all the time for the Enkei style rims and GTA style rims.

I don't think that they are the GTA style. The lugnuts look more recessed on the wheels on the car and the lugs nuts have no covers on them. Enkei is stamped into the back usually right? Or at least the enkei symbol; that infinity looking thing? If the GM wheels are marked front and back are they different offset or something?
