I have some questions about the various Crossfire centercaps. I have a copy of the Chrysler PDF parts list for the Crossfire wheels and I have read all that I could on this forum about OEM center caps. Here is what I have found out so far:
Part # 5179180aa lists for $99.50 each and is the cap for the ALZ wheel. This appears to be the SRT cap, but with the charcoal paint on the 5 flats.
Part # 5135522aa lists for $80.00 each and is the SRT cap.
Part # 5099083aa lists for $65.75 each and I think this is the painted cap for the 7 spoke wheels.
My question is really about part # 68045295aa which seems to be all over the internet and on ebay. The pictures show this to be the painted Crossfire centercap. The list price at Chrysler is $122.00 each, which is more expensive than any of the other caps. The PDF does NOT list this part at all for the Crossfire, yet when I put it in the parts list lookup, I get the price. So what the heck is going on here and what does the part # 5099083aa look like then?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

the srt caps are a brushed aluminum (metal)

and

the standard crossfire caps are painted silver in color (plastic)

 

I have 2 slighlty blemished ones, if you are interested
PM me.

 

Thanks for reply. From your pictures, it looks like the outer edge of the painted caps are flat from the 7 notches to the outer edge - while the SRT caps look like the outer edges angle in toward the center of the cap. Is this true or just the way the photos look?

 

Hi, Im looking to buy these red and silver centre caps, can anyone plz advise me where I can purchase these from.

Many thanks

This cap would be for the Special Edition Crossfire. Those wheels had the painted area between the spokes. Similar to the SRT-6 wheel, but different enough to make them unique to the SE.

 

You'll also notice that the SRT-6 caps are notched along the outer edge in 5 places. The standard Crossfire center cap is only notched in one spot, where you pry the cap off the wheel.

 

I think it is just an illusion due to the fact that the brushed aluminum center cap reflects light differently than the painted caps during photo taking. The zoom factor between the two pictures is also adding to this effect - far away vs. close-up.

 

I have to hand it to you, Andrew. You do nice work!
