We don't sell Dexter Vortex hub caps so I have no idea. They look like they're threaded so maybe? It sounds like you are looking for a set of the Grease Cap, 1.99" OD EZ Lube Drive in with Plug item # RG04-040 These have removable rubber centers that allow for easy access to your grease zerks.

I have linked our entire selection below if this isn't the size you need.
