H2 Wheels

[Vrabel]

Does anybody know anyone who put H2 wheels on there truck? need to know which center cap they used. the ones for my '01 wont work. unless I modify. -chris

I have H2s on my truck. I used the stock center caps that were on my PYOs for a while (they worked without modification), then I bought some black center caps from a 90s model 3/4 ton that I cut to work.

where the caps from steel or aluminum wheels? mine are steel and the caps fall short of hanging on

I used the 16" factory caps from the PYO's.

PYOs are aluminum. The black ones I put on are from steel wheels, but I had to cut them to make them work.

i had the same prob that you did my center caps wouldnt quite grab so i just ground the stops on the back of them i think the reason some work and some dont just deppends if they have ever been stripped or not and when the get tightened to much then some of the end threads get wore off and the wont grab

i hope this helps

Not to be a putz, but what does "PYO" mean?

PYO is the code GM uses for the aluminum wheels that came on our trucks.
Center caps off the steel wheels will work if you trim about an 1/8" off the outer edge.

I only had to cut the small tabs on the caps to make them work on mine, quick and simple.

thats what i had to do too and mine were off pyo's

I could run my PYO center caps on the H2s without modification, but could only get 1/2 a turn on some of the lug caps, which would eventually work loose. I dremeled the stops about 1/8" down and they fit like a champ.

I now have a set of PYO center caps on mine. All I did was pull out the "feet".

I wouldn't consider the H2 blank caps. Its sorta like wearing my Harley jacket while riding a sport bike. Thanks for the imput though

That makes no sense, caps are blank not like Im using the caps that say Hummer on them.

I run that setup, spacers with blank caps...most people don't even realize they are H2s...I had the PYO caps for a while, but they looked goofy IMO....

For the pyo aluminum wheel caps, I simply trimmed off the little pegs on the back of the cap, that way I could get them to thread onto the lugs more. Without doing this they would still fit, but I didn't feel good about the number of threads holding them on.

With the silver caps from steel wheels you would have to trim all the way around them as they are too big around as you saw above in wannadmaxsub's post.

I also ran the stock H2 caps for a while, but I filled in the "Hummer" and painted them black to look kinda like the CTIS on the actual H1's. Then I used a 4.5" hole saw to drill out the rear caps, and did the same, along with painting the hubs the same black.
