Replacement Center Cap Recommendation for a 14" Trailer Wheel

Question

Question:

My chrome hub covers are rusting right through. Do you have any similar to these straight ones? They are on Dexter axles.

We do have replacement center caps!

Most 14" wheels have a pilot hole diameter of 3.19" so I recommend going with the replacement cap from Americana:

- Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap - Stainless Steel - 3.19" Pilot # AM90175

Stainless Steel is much more resistant to rust than chrome is and the removable center piece means you'll be able to access your EZ Lube spindle without removing the whole cap (it looks like you have EZ Lube spindles at least). This is for a 3.19" pilot hole and while this size is the most common for a 14" wheel I do recommend double checking what you have just to make sure this will fit.
