No center cap with a "gold" emblem was ever offered by the factory- the logo is black......any gold was added aftermarket by dealers looking to pad their profits......."gold" packages, wood dash trim, aftermarket wheels, and other packages were common for dealers to add to the new 90-96Q sitting in inventory, inflating sticker prices by thousands for mostly worthless cosmetic alterations.....and buyers were stuck with this junk because it was added as soon as cars were unloaded from the trucks....forced price inflation.....even if you "negotiated" the price of this fluff down, you still ended up paying way more than the junk cost the dealers.......Most Honda dealers still practice this method of inflated profits.....wheel locks, mud flaps, pinstripes, door edge guards, moldings and junk all added as soon as car hits their lots and extremely inflated sticker price for this crap forced on buyers

If anyone would know how to get one to you, it would be Joe at Infiniti of Scottsdale. He was around during those days... call him directly at the phone number listed on www.infinitipartsusa.com

Thanks, I will give it a try

PS. Thanks for the history on that. I do have a car that sold for 55,000 dineros in 1996. I still have the sticker for it. It had the gold emblems and such. The wheels are very nice and the car had it 's own portable phone. Reallly funny now to see a full sized telephone receiver in the consol box.

Is it this wheel/center cap? Can you post a picture with dimensions?

[trijesusdrwho]

Yes, the top photo looks like my wheels and the size of the center cap is 5.75 inches in diameter. The center cap also looks the same. It seems to be hard to locate one exactly like mine. I found one but it is slightly different. Do you have one available? I would post a picture but I don't know how to do it.

Thanks,
Sandy
