Are there center caps (not just the logo piece) to fit open center wheels?

Apologies if this is a duplicate but my original post yesterday seems to not have made, it so I will try again.
I admit messing up as I bought some cheap, sacrificial, steel wheels to run my winter tires so salt would not destroy my Big Bend wheels. I'm not used to there being exposed parts underneath the wheel so I did a head slap when I saw this... See pic.

I'm not finding any bolt-on or clip-on solutions that would fit when I search but I'm hoping someone here has an idea before I give up and spend more on new wheels. Thanks all!

I installed them on a previous vehicle for the same reasons. I had to search to find a cap the correct size. Might of even been for a trailer? Doesn't really matter as long as it fits. Also packed them full of grease.

Look up wheel dust caps or wheel bearing caps. Amazon for one has a lot but you need to know your size.

I would go to ford and buy the black diamond steelie centre cap cover, it even has a bronco on it

If I recall, the BD cover clips to the lugnuts so it should work fine. The base caps are the same, as well as Ranger caps but they don't have the logo (and may be cheaper).

I'd be careful that the Bronco Steel Wheel Hub cover has enough depth to clear your axle nut.
It doesn't look like it does to me.

yup

they go under the lug nuts and over the axle end

The 6 on 5 1/2" bolt circle is used on many many different vehicles. There must be something out there that has no logo on it.

Thanks for the great ideas. Ford only mentioned replacement wheels to me when inquired but sometimes you have to know exactly what to ask for yourself, especially with a new product line. Now I do.

Re. a generic bolt on:
I've been looking for generic ones but have yet to find one that I'm confident will fit over the axle. If those dealers respond to my inquiries and I find one, I'll certainly post it so it's here for other's who make the same mistake.

Thanks all !!

Not sure if you saw my reply but the black diamond steelies come with exactly what you are looking for.

Yes I did. A huge Thank you.
That is exactly why I said, "Now I know what to ask for."
