Assuming you have Cleveland 40-97A wheels the screws are Cleveland p/n 102-00600. These are 1/4" long 8-32 screws. I like Eric's suggestion as these wheels are magnesium and are highly susceptible to dissimilar metal corrosion:
zero.one.victor wrote:An idea on hubcaps: I have seen the screw-holes in Cleveland wheels buggered up both by stripping out the threads,and from corrosion--possibly dissimilar-metal corrosion from using stainless screws in the aluminum (or are they magnesium? ) wheels. I use nylon screws to hold my hubcaps on,since both the hubcaps & the screws are white it doesn't look funny. If you do go with stainless screws,I would suggest using blue loctite & very little torque,just snug them up.

Here's where to find them.
