Center Caps & Trim Rings
About Center Caps & Trim Rings
A center cap covers the opening in the middle of a wheel, which keeps mud and debris out of the hub area and finishes the look of the wheel. Owners shop here for the simplest reason: a cap that has gone missing or cracked, or faded and scuffed, after a trail ride or a wash. A new cap is also a quick way to refresh a wheel without replacing it.
Caps are made for particular wheels, so match yours on the wheel model first. The listings name wheel designs, such as the Hurricane, Cyclone, Delta and SS-series wheels, and generic caps are listed by bolt pattern, for example 4/110, 4/137 or 5/114.3. Next look at how the cap mounts. Some are snap-in, some are bolt-in, and some are tall rather than flat, so check the style in the listing against what your wheel needs.
Finish and size are the last details, with black, chrome, gun metal and large or small versions all listed. A few listings are hub caps for a particular machine, such as the Polaris General, so these are matched to the machine instead of the wheel. Trim rings, where listed, are also made for specific wheels.
Brands in this category include ITP, Raceline Wheels, High Lifter, Carlisle Tires and Moose Offroad. If you are replacing the wheels themselves, see Wheels, and for lug hardware see Wheel Nuts, Bolts & Studs. All of them sit under Wheels, Tires & Parts. This bolt pattern guide helps if you need to identify your wheel's pattern.
FAQs on center caps
How do I find the right center cap for my wheel?
Start with the wheel's model name, which is often cast or stamped on the back or face of the wheel, then match the bolt pattern, such as 4/137. If you cannot find a name, measure the opening and compare it with the listing's size and mounting style.
What is the difference between a snap-in and a bolt-in center cap?
A snap-in cap presses into the wheel opening and is held by friction or tabs. A bolt-in cap is secured with a fastener. Which you need depends on the wheel's design, so check the style in the listing before buying.
Will a center cap from a different brand fit my wheel?
Only if the dimensions and mounting style match. Caps are normally made for particular wheel models, so a cap from another brand can be loose or too tight. Use the wheel model and bolt pattern in the listing and compare sizes when in doubt.
How do I remove a snap-in center cap without damaging it?
Work around the edge with a plastic trim tool or a soft pry tool and lift gradually rather than forcing one spot. Take care with the wheel finish. If the cap is held by a bolt, remove the bolt first.
