Default Aftermarket wheel center cap

My 97 xj has aftermarket steel wheels on it that the previous owner installed (I believe they’re Vision Soft 8’s) but they do not have center caps.

I’d like just a simple small chrome cap that would cover the hub nut, but I don’t know if one would even fit. I feel like a cap pushed in from behind would interfere with the mounting surface of the wheel. Does anyone here have any ideas on what would fit? I can’t seem to find information other than one thread about different wheels that didn’t really give an answer. I would really appreciate any ideas you have to offer.

Sometimes if the wheel was manufactured with a center cap in mind there would be either a recessed lip, a chamfer on the back side of the opening, or both...That would be the first thing to check...

I have the black version of these with my rims, which are similar, but not exactly the same. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pcw-1330016

Here's a list of options for the 3.300" diameter, which I presume yours is. Adjust as warranted... https://www.summitracing.com/search?...rder=Ascending

I’ll check that. As far as I can see from the front there is no gap.
