Thanks! The car almost looks shorter now! All of my friends like them except my Asian Ricer Fan Boy friend lol.

I'll go to the boneyard sometime this week and buy one centercap. I'll sneak the other 3 out on my girl though, they never search the women for some reason!

Centercaps for those are easy to find. 10-holes, Snowflakes and some MN-12's used the same caps. Though, the MN-12 ones are plastic.

MN12 rims will not fit. they are a weird ass 5 lug pattern. I think somethin like 5x4.25 maybe? The centercaps however I posted above

Yours are in way better condition than mine! Any tips to cleaning, removing already falling off clear coat?

Not really. I hit mine with the hose and a brush, thats it. They were in good condition when I got them. However Here is the link to how to clean up the wheels
Centercaps were off a set of wheels at the JY.

The cougar ones aren't plastic, just the regular tbird ones are.

i actually think it doesnt look too bad without the centercaps. with all 4 missing it looks kinda like theyre designed to show the lugs. actually kinda makes them seem more rallye style with the caps gone. but hey, what do i know?

They made cougar caps that were metal too. Might be hard to find but 85-86 XR7's had the 10 holes with the cougar center cap. Get some strong cleaner like super clean and is should loosen up the clear coat so you can get most of it off.
