    Dog dishes / baby moons for 17x7 steel rims?

    I got my car with non-stock, black-coated 17x7 wheel rims and the CVPI-style center caps on them with the Ford logo. See the images.

    Well, I got an MGM, so those caps aren't a good match for the make and model, lol.
    These Ford caps are 7 inches in outer diameter. The snap tabs on the inner side are spaced roughly 13 cm (5.12") across the diameter. I'm looking for the same fit and attachment, but the style should be a plain dog dish, perhaps baby moons.
    Wheel Vintiques 1008 is specified on Summit Racing to fit 17" rims, but honestly... I'm not sure. I think they need bosses on the rim to snap in.

    Ideas, gentlemen?

    Center caps from a '98 Mountaineer (I'm sure other years use them, but don't know the year range) will work.






    EDIT:

    Here is an example on eBay, part number F87A-1A096-HA.

        So, the Mountaineer center caps work (had to wait for them to be delivered from a guy in Pennsylvania).
        I had to add a hex nut on each wheel stud that goes into the clips on the caps to have the clips grab the nuts and sit snugly. It worked! Will post pics.

          I assumed since you had the Ford center caps that you already had the correct lug nuts.
          Collared lug nuts are what you need.

          Part numbers that should work:
          Ford 6W7Z-1012-CA
          Dorman 611-197

            Thanks for the part numbers. Are they open on both ends?

            EDIT: Scratch that, they are. OK, will get them!
