Measure the inside diameter of the cap hole. You might be able to find something in the aftermarket to fit. Other thing to do is take pics of all of the cast markings on the wheels. While the wheel looks smiliar to several brands that I'm familiar with, it doesn't quite match any of them. I'm guessing the bolts are fake?

I was going to say BBS too... go raid an old BMW 3 series for the caps, and see if they fit.

"Made in the USA" narrows the possibilities a lot.

The wheels are Eagle 92 wheels. I bought the wheels in 1991 brand new and the centercap were threaded and covered the lugs. In various moves over the years , the caps were lost. I put them on that car when I swapped the suspension in '05. They are 16x7 4x114.3
