GJarrett replied to the thread Apex wheels center caps.I'm betting they changed the cap size before then. My old wheels that had larger cap holes, if I had to guess, I think I bought in 2017. (see full post)-
If they haven’t changed the size then I know the GT350 caps fit. I had them on my apex wheels back in 2020.
PatrickStapler replied to the thread Event Pics & Videos.Generally speaking, if the parts were available in period, ‘72 SCCA GCA, then we can run them. All small block big bore cars can run front discs but must run rear drums. We can use larger rear drums…for example big block production cars had...

Bill Pemberton replied to the thread Event Pics & Videos.What a lovely noise she has!! Do you guys get to upgrade much from the original set ups, like disc brakes for instance? (see full post)-

navysailor24_gt350 reacted to Bill Pemberton's post in the thread Apex wheels center caps with Like.Keep in mind the Apex plastic ones can melt on track but it is not unusual for the metal caps to pop out. Some groups will not allow center caps on a road course as one flying off at speed can be quite hazardous.
