    Bolt On Center Caps

    I recently acquired a large collection of parts from a long time Corvette guy. I was wondering if someone could help me determine if the center caps I acquired are OEM or considered repops? What is the value?

    Re: Bolt On Center Caps

    The caps or "starbursts" pictured appear to be OEM SECOND GENERATION caps. Original caps had a different manufacturer and logo marking, but looked about the same. I believe that the chrome and colors were a bit better and brighter on the original caps. Mfg logo for original caps is "hc": the mfg logo for second generation caps is "pmc"

    That being said, the caps pictured are very very sought after and likely would sell for about $400-500 EACH.

    I was able to source excellent condition original caps a long time ago at Bloomington. I remember being offered excellent original vs new in box second edition caps, and picking the original ones as being better quality. Purchased from Dave Cosner. I believe I paid $500 for four at the time........around 1997.

        The aftermarket ones say Korea on the back side. Yours are like the other poster said second gen. OTC ones. Great find.

            Shane,
            You'd likely sell these very quickly on the NCRS Facebook Parts Swap Page.
