I've got a set of PIU steelies with the undercover optional full coverage wheel covers.
I plan to use the smaller, traditional hubcap with polished trim rings. The small center caps are expensive for the 2012 and later models but the 2011 and earlier caps from Crown Vic / Interceptors which LOOK similar front and back (inc. the attachment to the shouldered lug design) are much cheaper. Both the 2010 Crown Vic and the 2013 Exp, have a 5 lug 4.5" diameter bolt pattern Does anyone know if the earlier caps will fit the current steelies?
First pic is an early cap, the second is the current cap. I know the face design is slightly different between the two and I don't mind that, I'd just like to know if the older caps will fit the later model wheels.
THANKS for any info.
