What years came with this type center cap?

IIRC those caps did not come on Urq's.

I've done the same with some 4k center caps.

Looks kind of 'interesting', but I'm not totally sold on the look.

If you go for that look, you have to cut off the tabs around the rear outside of the cover. Only the cnenter opening holds them on.

If 4k caps don't fit.. What did you use?

When I tried that look, I *made* 4k center caps fit! :-)

They sort oflook like yours...

I believe there is a slight size difference between the caps used on 4000 4x100 and 4000Q 4x108.

I have an old copy of European car magazine with an '85 UrQ in it with the silver caps. I am sure I've seen others.

and switched them afterwards, but from factory they only had the small black ones.

Hope this helps.

all tossed in a box when the car got painted. Had to sort them out when it was time to get them refinished and I noticed some of them would not snap in properly.
