Default Need Caenter Caps for Corona wheels

I understand that there are a big cap and a little cap. Does anyone know where I can purchase either one?

Coronas don't use center caps as far as I understand. Check out this web page for Volvo wheels: http://home.blarg.net/~volvo242gt/wheels.html. Maybe you mean a different type of wheel?

The 14" Corona was indeed sold with 2 center caps. As I recall, when it was sold with the large caps as shown in this eBay link, it was called the Corona. When it was sold with the small hub cap, I think it was called something else but I forget the name. Here's the big caps... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_500wt_1182
Here's the small ones...

I have been looking all over the place for those small center caps! I upgraded to the painted Corona wheels from the steel wheels, but didn't realize no one carries the small caps anymore. There are tons of places that sell the larger center caps, but I don't think they look that good on the painted wheels (maybe on the machined Coronas they look ok).

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks

Volvo dropped the small center caps from their parts catalogs quite a long time ago. good luck finding any.

btw, afaik, /all/ coronas are painted silver and clear coated.

Thanks for your help. I'm gonna change out the acorn lug nuts for the low profile ones and put on the larger center caps. Will let you know if it looks amazing
