Rally Wheel Center Caps Question

[Jim AAR]

Is there a difference between the 15x7  4.5 Rally Wheel Center Caps that Coker Tire and Roseville sell?

I ask account the Coker Tire ones are $35.00 each and the Roseville ones are $65.00 each.

If they look the same and it's only the Part # that's different, I don't really care because no one will ever see the part # but me when I install them.

As long as the look and finish are the same i'm good with that.

At one time there was plastic reproductions on the market, I guess you would have to confirm what Coker sells ?
Why are you dealing with Coker ? Buying Firestones

As far as I know, you can get them directly from Chrysler too. Any dealership parts department can sell them to you.

[Jim AAR]

Thanks, I'll have to check it out.....

BTW, I asked Coker and they are steel and not plastic.....

Thanks again 69bronzeT5....

I called one of the Chrysler dealers here and they have a set of the 1970 Light Argent in stock.

He said "the List price on them are $82.83 each, but we can sell them to you at trade price for $62.30 each, which = $249.20 plus tax". Works out to $281.66 CDN and they are local, so no shipping.

And Roseville is selling them for $65 US each or $252 for the set with screws.

That is so weird, Auto Parts cheaper in Canada rarely ever happens.

Even stranger I bought (2) of the Dark Argent ones in 1986 and they had Part # 3461066 (I still have the boxes) which matches what Roseville has (See Attachment)

But the 1970/71 Plymouth Parts Manual shows Part # 3461066 for 1970 and Part # 3461352 for 1971.

That's probably explains why when I ordered them in 1986 they came in and they were the Dark Argent ones, but I took them anyways.

Yes: I have 4 in the Chrysler box from 1980. Just need a 71 Dodge to put them on now.

The center cap should not be Steel , cast alum is original but as long as they are metal not the plastic ones you should be fine

[Jim AAR]

Yeah I know, should have just said not plastic, but i am getting the OEM ones from the Chrysler dealership here anyways...

Glad to help!

Went down to Eastern Chrysler here in Winnipeg and picked up a set of (4) Light Argent Rally Wheel caps for $281.60 total.

The Part # is 4515079 on the Mopar box is the same as Roseville's.

The Part # on the cap is 3461056 and that # doesn't even exist in the 70/71 Parts manual.....

the part number on the casting is for the bare casting

once it gets chromed, painted & a medallion/sticker it gets a "saleable" part number (or two, for the '70 VS. '71 variations)

Awesome  I was surprised at what you could get for them and the pricing. I got brand new 440 Magnum hood badges for my '71 Charger R/T, 440 air cleaner pie tin and a 383 Road Runner air cleaner pie tin all for under $100 Canadian!

I remember buying them from the dealer back in 78.... Set of four was less than $30..... And they were in stock then too...

[Jim AAR]

Yeah that's in the US though, I bought a couple in 1986 and they were $31.30 and that was the Jobber price.

When I bought my gas tank from Year One in 2002, it was made in Canada, shipped to Year One in Georgia and back to me in Canada and I had to pay Duty on it, go figure.

Tank was made in Canada but you couldn't buy it anywhere in Canada.

I have a set or Original 71 if this helps. I got them back in the 90's so I think that are original.
