Default Centercap is probably from a 4000....

IIRC those caps did not come on Urq's.

Default I used Centercaps from a 4000....

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.

Mine is the third urq I've seen with them. BTW, 4k caps don't fit.

Default 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...

Default I'm pretty sure some of them (maybe just some '85s?) came with them. as far as from a 4K....

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.
