Wheel Center Cloisonné Emblems
Wheel Center Cloisonné Emblems
Does anyone know if there is a source for the Wheel center cap cloisonné emblems for the SRT-6 cars? I called the dealership, and all they have are the complete caps. I want to refinish my wheels which have some curb rash as well as peeling paint with a good powder coating of the wheel and center caps, but am concerned about what I will use for the emblems after I remove the old ones.
All four of my cloisonné emblems are loosing the paint behind the plastic. I know it's a minor detail, but my hope with this car is to get it to look as good as I can again, and that means as close to new as possible. I don't want to buy the caps because I'm concerned that there won't be an exact color match between the powder coated wheel and the center cap. Besides, the paint used on these wheels and center caps is dreadful. Every car I've looked at it seems has peeling paint.
Cheers

Should be able to provide you with center wheel emblems - but don't toss out your old ones - as these will overlay on the OEM's.
If possible, could you show us some before and after photos when you have your wheels re-conditioned?

Those are nice indeed, but i was really hoping to stay stock in appearance. That said, given a lack of anything available, I may have to go this route. Thing is though, the existing cloisonné's will need to be removed in order to powder coat the center cap.
I responded to another gentleman's thread in the wheel/tire/suspension forum where he has a blue cabrio with gold centered rims that appear to be the SRT rims minus the wheel caps. I liked the way his look. I PM'd him asking him if those were in fact the same wheel I have. If it is, I'll just recondition my rims and forgo the center caps altogether and go with a nice chrome lug nut.
