When i ran ponys they came with some centercaps off a newer V6 car and looked just like that but without any words or horse on em, they were plain. I didnt like em very much, tried to find a good set of pony caps but the wheels/tires were stolen before I could do so.

IMO, the Saleen caps look too plain. Not enough colour to them. The red/white/blue running horse on the pony caps gives it just enough "flash" to offset the dullness of the silver painted wheel, without overpowering the subtle look of them.

My first impression when I saw your pick was "those look like V6 wheels" :shrug:
 
The 91-93 pony rim had the best cap out of the dome style caps IMO. I dont know why they went to the plain pony in '94 like on the tribars; I have a set of tribar wheels and my pony caps are going on them when its time.

Im going to run my pony caps on my tribars also.:nice:
 
These would fit

If you had an aftermarket pony 5-lug version, you could find the painted version of these center caps from a new V6 and run them

Now that I look at them again, they do look a little generic... with my bad eyes, at 10 feet I probably couldnt read the lettering anyway. Im gonna see if any regular ponies come up.
 
Well Saleen manufactured and sold the center caps for the Pony wheels, so obviously they didn't have an issue with them being on non-Saleen cars (the horror!)
However, I agree, they are a bit plain, when compared to the running horse. But if all I had was those, I sure as heck wouldn't be running out to buy different center caps, those are just fine...
