    Aftermarket 16'' cap made by one of the better makers. Note the Cad crest has lumps, not ducks. Look on the perimeter near the teeth for mfr's stamp - many Lyon brand covers are so marked.

    That's not a real Cad cap...the real ones had 40+ 'fingers' around the outer perimeter, fit Cad wheels best.
    That is an aftermarket cap, good luck matching it. Lyon? Possibly.

    The real ones have a cup in the center that pops over 5 clips in the center of the wheel.
