Hi,

 

I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the caps that I have on my CSA sprintmaster wheels. I have tried google and trolled through this forum but most of the caps that I have seen have a different graphic.

 

Does anyone know if these are still available (either new or reproduction)? Mine are badly cracked and id like to replace them.

 

Thanks!

 

Brent

I think you'll be hard up finding new chrome plastic caps unless someone has some new old stock they decide to sell.

Better off getting the chrome metal caps with or without the embossed GLOBE logo.

Your sprintmasters should be around the same vintage as mine so the metal caps should fit perfectly.

At least two, but I would purchase 4 if they were available.

 

Do you have these?

Excellent. If you could check and come back to me when you can, that would be great!

I know this is a long shot, but Mr Ice Cool, I see you've told Brent you may have had some torana xu1 "sprintmaster globe" wheel caps..

 

Any more lying around? Restoring a car and have fabricated the caps - since I'm finding it so hard to locate any originals I'm resorting to getting 4 caps manually engraved.(not even Google has any good images of them)

 

If i could locate just one original, that i can replicate, I would be relieved.

 

Any suggestions or help locating one would be greatly appreciated.

You do know the original GM-H XU1 sprintmaster caps didn't have Globe on them?
