New wheels came without center cap. What do I get?

Not sure what this style is called, but the OEM center cap doesn’t work as the factory wheels Will have a smaller diameter than 71.5 to retain the center cap. This wheel is 71.5mm hole here.

Brand of wheel? I would be contacting the vendor as I'm not sure I've seen a modern wheel that doesn't include center caps.

Dirty life beadlock. They don’t come with caps confirmed. So just looking for a general solution

Check eBay. You can get caps and any decal you want including Jeep. I've done this before with aftermarket wheels. You've got the measurement, that's the hardest part.

Thanks. But that's not my point. I would go to ebay or amazon to buy it once i know what to use..

The usual center cap has 3 tabs to grab the lib on the center bore of the wheel. However, this wheel does not have a lip, so those you see on amazon or ebay do not work.

You might be surprised. I bought similar wheels without a lip and found caps to fit. They held on great until high speed turns at autocross. You said you were looking for a general solution...

Does the manufacturer offer an option?

These sites seem shady AF to me,and they're not showing center caps, but if you want to investigate them further ... maybe?

You might check with vender where you purchased them.

Strange - they put the wheel as picture but nowhere showing the cap..

I'm planning to make a model and 3d print one. It's just a dump close-ended cylinder shape.

However I don't see a 71.5mm bore in this model. Did you install this on a Jeep?

Yes on a 25 wrangler. For some reason on your model they must have decided to not have center caps.

It's not hub centric then? or you use rings.
