    Anybody have an experience with new Spider caps?
    Where'd you buy them?

  3. I’m convinced there all the same..a crappy metal plate, gets crushed when you put the lugs on, makes it impossible to get more than a couple screws in to hold the cap on...I would get a push through bullet and bullet lugs for way less, looks just as good, and ya don’t have to fight to get them on and off, or better yet loose one while out in the car...total pita

    who sells push through bullets that aren't 4" long and stick out beyond the wheel?

    Or does anybody have an original set of spider caps in 5 on 4 3/4 chevy bolt circle they'd like to sell? a little crusty or pitted is fine, not looking for new.

    I bought some about 5 years ago from Speedway motors that are actually pretty nice pieces. Needed a second set a year or two later for a different car and had to order from somewhere else due to being back ordered ,they where total junk. Don't know if Speedway still has the same vender or not.

    Thanks guys, still trying to avoid buying new. Hoping somebody has a old set of Cal Customs laying around they want to sell. Gary
