So I bought some old 13x7 Eagle 5 stars...they're pretty sweet and a little hilarious. I"ve determined at least that I think they're eagles because the center cap would in theory measure 5 & 7/8 '' so that helped me figure it out.

They could be American Racing or PRime or something else since so many of those looked the same. I found a set on ebay but they would only sell them individually, and at 35 bucks a piece, that's more than I payed for everything with tires.

Any ideas where to find some ? Can I make anything that would work ?

Thanks

Hmmm. I've seen those before but I need one several inches larger than that. The guy that's painting my wagon is going to paint the inside of the wheels and I think I should try to find something that works.

I guess I'll hit up the junkyard and see if I make any progress there.

I have a set in the shop that have never been used. They are from a set of 16inch wheels, not sure if they will fit the 13`s but you can try them if you like.

Oh awesome ! Would it be too much to ask you to measure them for me ? If they're not 5 and 7/8'' then they won't fit. If they are, I'D LOVE TO GET THEM !!!!!

Thanks mucho,
Rut

False alarm. They came off a set of ultra rims and measure 6 1/4 but if u cut the back side lip out it would be 5 7/8 ths. Sorry. Think i still have a set of American Eagle Racing center cars close to that size also but they are the plastic wavy kind.

I`ve been out of town and just got a chance to measure them. They are about an inch too big. I guess because they are from 16 inch wheels. Sorry about that

Hey Rut,

Try this look for crx si center caps 88-91 or integra center caps.

You can always fill in the H logo if needed.

I just threw a tape on mine and they are just under 6".

Thanks everybody for looking out...I'll keep searching. I really appreciate all the help. I'm trying to find some before the car goes to the paint shop on the week of the 4th
