parts call weld wheel centers
Need cpl centers fow weld wheels spindle mount 17x 2 -1/4".Cap measures 1.77 where pushes into wheel. Wheels are Aluma Star's. Found on jegs but heck half what I paid for wheels for 2 centers is little stout,but may be last resort.

Hoping someone has a set or one(found one on ebay) laying around

Chris, I'm assuming you mean the dust caps that press on over the bearings and spindle nut?
I lost one several years ago and like you wasn't going to pay $50-$60 for one damn cap....
So I ordered 2 Mr. Gasket 2485 chrome caps and machined my rims I.D. .020" larger.
I seem to remember the MR. Gasket caps were like $8 each.
If I could find the original Weld cap off my other rim I'd send it to you, but I looked around and it's long gone....

Yep Weld is really proud of those caps, I had to replace one a couple of years back after I hit it with the golf cart while unloading.
