    I dunno, you sure? I sold my Merc a while back, and saw pics of it at the round up with spiders but definately still the same stock wheels and wide whites it left with. Made me wonder for sure.

    I just emailed Cen-Pen telling them lots of folks are looking for chrome (not billet) 5 x 5 1/2 spider caps. Will see what happens.

    I'm in talks with the "real" maker of the spider caps I sell.
    I'll let y'all know if I can get them done in 5x5.5.

    Sometimes the minimum order is just tooooo great.
    To get things made for a reasonable $$ figure.

    try getting a "bullet" center in your size from a tire store that sells wheels & just run chrome lugs, it'll look good(And alot cheaper).
