Here is a picture (low resolution) of the centers that were included on my standard lace type 88 wheels. A higher resolution picture is available for anyone who wants it.

If you had a white 87 Mera the wheels were painted white etc. Some 87 Meras may have had aftermarket wheels? Hard to say. Dealers could have changed the rims once they took delivery of these 87 Mera's. For a while Corporate Concepts ran out of the Cromadoras and some 88 Mera's shipped out wth the Fiero factory OEM rims painted the body color and some may have shipped from Corporate Concepts with aftermarket rims.

I have seen some all original 88 Meras that had no caps under the large wheel caps and some that had these. So it is hit or miss but this is the correct wheel center for the 88 Mera. Since Corporate Concepts was such a small company (maybe 10-15 or so employees at their peak and they made many other products) nothing was set in stone. These Meras were made and shipped out. Variations probably occured.

Rodney,

This is likely one of those CC factory anomolies. The white lace wheels and these center caps came off a white 88 Mera belonging to Bob Bracey's wife (verfied by registration paperwork that I had inbmy possession). This car had both the Chromadora wheels as well as the standard ones. It also had Recarro seats installed and a spare set of gray cloth seats that went with the car.

Do you have Mera center cap insignias for the 88's with Cromadoras for sale?
