Anyone who has been lucky enough to score a prime set of
vintage Fenton Gyro wheels may find that the center caps are
damaged or missing and the ones from modern Torq-Thrusts
etc have a larger attachment bolt circle and don't match up.

Problem solved. The center caps from Billet Specialties are an
exact fit. Not only that, but Billet Specialties alone offers a
"center cap spacing ring" in case the cap is too short to clear
the grease cap on your spindle.

I have already bought a set of these spacers and am anxious
to see how they look when used alone to trim out the wheels
around the nice protruding aluminum hubs on Hemi Denny's
Duster.

I have never seen any Gyro's that didn't have the 5-screw mounts.

Do yours say "Gyro Racing Wheel" and "Fenton" on the back or
could they be Anson, Rocket, E-T, or one of the many other wheels
that mimmicked that style?

Either way, I would go to a place like an old speed shop, tire store
or swap meet etc and do some measurements.

I will take a picture tomorrow but I could have sworn they said gyro on the back. They are FENTON. Could it be the 5 on 4.5 small bolt size?
 
It's late, or I am stupid. I have 5 on 4 inch, not 4.5. Small bolt pattern with no screw holes. Thanks

A - "It's late"

B - "I'm stupid"

C - "I have 5 on 4 inch"


I believe that the correct answer is A and C.

Wack, thank you sir, can I have another?

Anyway, here are the pictures of my stuff. I think we have a winner, small bolt doesn't use screws. I will keep searching.........
