Center cap screws/locks

[iami3k]

Well I got my self some lexani krystal rims and the center cap screws are missing. Does any one know where would I find screws that will fit? I found one website that sells McGard center cap screws but I'm not sure what size i need for lexani krystal and those lazy asses will not reply to my emails. I emailed them about other products and they reply the next day, but when it comes to those screws, they never email me back for some reason. Here is a link to the center cap screws: http://www.sfxperformance.com/catalo...%20Accessories

I have no idea how to measure the hole on the rim and not sure if those screws are the right size. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks all.

Measure the depth of the thread of one of the center cap holes. Use a toothpick and mark a pen line where it just sticks out if you don't have any measuring tool like the bottom of a caliper (not the brake type of caliper). Then measure your toothpick up to the mark you made with a simple ruler. Then measure the thickness of the hole in the wheel the screw has to pass through using the same procedure. Now add the 2 measurements together. Now take one of the centercaps to the local hardware store and test fit a few different machine screw or bolt threads, testing both standard and metric, until you find the one that screws right in. Now get as many as you need in the length you figured out when adding the 2 measurements from above together. A little bit shorter would probably work and save you a few pennies on each screw. You should be all set.

I was wondering, would a wheel shop be able to find the right screws? I know there are those locking screws that work like lock lug nuts but I just want regular screws that will hold the center caps in place. If i was to go to a tires/wheel installation place, would they most likely have screws likes that or would they also have to special order them. What do you guys think??

Thanks
