Looking for a single chrome cap, or a set of clean caps in decent shape for the original style (flat spoke) Riviera wheels with the larger center bores. ISP used to make them, but they aren't available from them anymore. Anyone have anything?

I think I've got some of those....black plastic....I think they were "American Eagle" that fit into my Riv's when I had them years back.
Don't know if these are what you want....but they fit.

Thank you, but the American racing caps are too small for the original riv's unless they made a version with the larger hole as well. I think all the snap in black plastic caps are approximately 2 7/8" or so.

Try over on TheSamba.com under Vendors &/or wheels & tires.
There was a guy in TX going by TheAndrade or something who had to chrome bullet style caps in the same shape as the original Rivs (but without the reveresed "r" logo). They are plasti-chrome & you can get the sticky-back Porsche Crest centers to go on them too.
There were a couple of other vendors of them on there too. Maybe try Dubbers Toybox in Westminster, Fountain Valley or Garden Grove in the OC CA (also on Samba website).

Thank you. I'll look into those and see what I find. If I don't post here that I found any, I'm still looking.

I appreciate all the help guys. Most of those caps are for the American Racing style Riv's. I have the original Formula Vee style wheels with the larger bore (82mm). Please excuse the dirty car. She needs a bath!

those wheels look REAL nice jim. edit the title, get rid of the riviera mention and insert form vee. post a picture of one of the caps.
for someone who might have some stray caps lying around…those wheels require the ones that install from the rear of the center opening. metal (not plastic).

Thank you guys. I would really love to find a set of the ISP center caps, but they are hard to find these days. There are some variants of the plastic caps that will fit, but not many of those out there either. Here's a shot of the ISP caps:
