Enkei spare center caps

Can anyone tell me if there is a center cap which fits the 15x4 aluminum Enkei spare wheel ? I believe they came with turbo cars, 86-89 ? I am in need of 2.
Thanks for your help !

I'd be surprised if you could find a center cap to work easily with these. I have a couple of these Enkei aluminum spare wheels. The problem is that the center bore on the wheel has straight sides with no indentations. The sides run all the way back to the mounting surface with only a tiny chamfer on the back edge, and the sides are about 7/8" deep. In other words, I don't think a normal center cap would have anything to grab onto. You might adapt something from another wheel by JB Welding it in place or something. Or maybe you could grind a channel into the center bore hole if you could find a center cap that was just the right diameter.

I assume you are using these for front wheels on a drag car or something along those lines?

Yes, fronts on drag car. I did notice there was no indentions for a cap to grab. Did these wheels come with center caps ?

To my knowledge they did not come with center caps. They're pretty nice looking as spare wheels go, but I don't think Mazda intended for anybody to use them long enough to need a center cap.
