Technical What Do you call this and where can you buy them?

I know they were used for mounting fake wire wheel covers but I dont know what the proper name for them is and I havent been able to source them. Any help is appreciated.

 

Gorilla automotive products still makes them for adding spinners. Gorilla-auto.com

Don't know if you can buy just the centers, but this will point you in the right direction.

 

I believe that I have a set of them, never used....

 

I don't know if these are really so much to retain the wheel covers as they are to make them somewhat theft-proof. They used a center bolt with a security pattern and a matching key/wrench for removal, but I'm sure you could use a standard bolt instead. Do your wire covers not have any other retainers to hold them snugly on the rim?

If you don't need them to be "chrome-goodie-go-fasters" these night be an alternative. But you'll also need to verify the bolt circle and the proper depth or offset.

I've always referred to them as "towers", I see the ad that SuperDangerDave posted also calls them towers. Chrome wheel towers, spinner towers, center cap towers, all might be keywords to search for on the internet, but I feel like everyone calls them towers.

 

The ones I linked to above I found by searching for "wire wheel cover brackets".

 

Cool! Thanks!

 

Thanks everybody! Its all in the keywords and I just couldnt get the right ones

 

Push through towers, Ive used them to mount "spinners" on Astro Supremes instead of the stock center cap.
