Question about "base" wheels

[chris_kucia]

I got a deal on ebay on a set of new Firestone tires mounted on what I believe are base 2004 wheels - the steel five-spokes with the thin metal face. Look like the spare wheel, but shiny.

 

I had the stock cast aluminum wheels on previously.

 

Can't figure out how the center caps attach to these new wheels. My best guess is the fake lug nut covers on the caps (which rotate in the cap) screw onto either special lug nuts, or some sort of lug nut adapter.

 

Anyone have a clue?

 

Maybe the ebay seller gave me the wrong caps?

Nevermind.

 

I checked the EZAccessory link (are they a preferred vendor or something?). It looks like they have just what I need.

 

Didn't realize there were special lug nuts to hold center caps on...

Those special lug nuts screw into special (longer) lugs.

The center caps mount to the lug nuts, the steel wheel lug nuts have a thread on them below the hex pattern that the little plastic fake lug nuts screw to. The center caps are a nice setup with the nuts captive on them, wait.. I said something postive about my posct.

 

I'm pretty sure any auto parts store would have them, they have used the same lug nuts for years on the trucks, and cars too.
