I just got back from a trip and noticed I am missing the passenger side center wheel cap.
I am looking for a used one, but not finding any out there that match what I have.

To the LC gurus out there, what is the correct center wheel cap to have for a 1997 FZJ80 Collector's Edition?

Here is what I have on the other three, not sure if that is correct or not.
Black background with silver emblem.

Any help on locating another one or a set of 4 if I have to. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure all 95-97 models (including 40th anniversary and collectors edition) used the caps with the silver w/ gold emblem (pictured). My LC came with the caps that you have, and my understanding is that that style of cap came with pre-95 models. I replaced those caps with the silver/gold ones, which I found on eBay for maybe around $50 for all four.
 
Yeah, my (bought new) CE was silver and gold.

Of course the correct cap is NO cap - it's just some extra garbage to lose and scuff up. You have FF axles - show 'em off :)

cheers,

So the correct caps are not black, they are silver with gold emblems?
 
Yep, silver/gold exactly as the picture posted by mdawg is what the CE came with... :)

Or just toss them like I did. After all, your 80 tossed one of them for you - take it as a hint, the 80 doesn't want/need the caps...

cheers,

:doh:
 
I bought a set of 4 off eBay for under $50 delivered then painted the logo the color I wanted.
Four years and still holding on.
 
I have a 1995 80. The center alloy wheel hub caps are really faded - almost entirely gold. Can anyone tell me what the color of the hubs were when it left the factory? I've read this thread and understand the "right" color is no hub at all according to some. But, just for giggles, does anyone know the stock color of them? Thanks folks.
 
I have a Collectors Edition as well and my center wheel caps are all black. I’m the third owner and I doubt any of the previous owners painted them as one was an older lady and the other a dentist and he didn’t do anything to it.

Not a CE...but these are factory on my '97. Silver with gold inlay.
