Ballistic Wheels Center Cap Guide

Ballistic Wheels are a popular choice for truck and SUV owners who want aggressive off-road styling without breaking the bank. Their wheels share design DNA with brands like Hostile and Moto Metal, which also means some cap fitment overlaps — but you still need to match the right cap to your specific wheel. Here's how.

Ballistic Cap Styles & Finishes

Ballistic offers center caps in gloss black, matte black, and occasionally chrome. Their caps use a snap-in design for most models, secured by a retention ring that presses into the center bore. Key cap models include:

  • EMR973 BALLISTIC-UP — Gloss black snap-in cap for the Ballistic 973 Scorpion series.
  • CAP TS-H8 (Gloss Black) — A versatile gloss black cap used across multiple Ballistic models.
  • CAP TS-H8 (Matte Black) — Same form factor as the gloss version, matte finish for a more subdued look.
  • LG1208-34 — Gloss black rim center cap for select Ballistic models.

Pro tip: The TS-H8 cap fits multiple Ballistic models. If you're unsure of your exact cap part number, the TS-H8 is worth checking first — it's one of the most common Ballistic replacements.

How to Find the Right Ballistic Cap

  1. Identify your wheel model — Ballistic model numbers are typically 3 digits (e.g., 973 Scorpion). Check the back of the wheel or your purchase receipt.
  2. Match the finish — Gloss black and matte black are the most common Ballistic finishes. Don't mix them.
  3. Measure the bore — If the part number is unavailable, measure the center bore opening in millimeters.
  4. Check the retention style — Most Ballistic caps snap in. Look for a retention ring groove inside the center bore.

Does My Ballistic Cap Fit a Hostile or Moto Metal Wheel?

Sometimes, yes — but don't assume. Ballistic, Hostile, and Moto Metal are all produced under related manufacturing umbrellas, and some cap bore sizes overlap. However, finish codes and retention ring dimensions can differ. Always verify the bore size and retention style before cross-fitting caps between brands.
