    I just received Rob's Dino center caps for my GT4. I think they look great!

    With the Superformance wheels you have to file them down a little to fit the radius of the black insert.

    Now if someone would make the open lug wheel cover repros at a reasonable cost! These centercaps are lovely!

    Wow those look great. I never thought about fitting them to the center caps like you did.

    About 3mm was trimmed and filed to fit their cap.

    Has anyone successfully adapted these caps to 7-1/2 x 14 Cromodora wheels?

    Thanks.

    Yep, they were slightly filed to fit. They are not standard.

    I'm confused? Why are these on a 5-spoke Campagnolo wheel... nothing like this ever came from the factory to the best of my knowledge. The only DINO wheel caps that ever came from the factory for a correctly badged DINO GT4 were dog-dish caps on Cromadoro wheels. I do believe 206 / 246 Dinos had centre caps on their Cromadoros (certainly not a campagnolo), but not 308 Dinos. Am I missing something?

    Correct, not original from factory, Kook filed them down to fit. I like them!
