To choose the correct center cap for the Americana Aluminum wheel # AM22330HWTB wheel that you referenced you will need to choose one that works with a 3.19 inch pilot diameter.

The Excalibur Center Cap that you referenced # 319EZ, indicates that it is intended to work with wheels wit 3.19 inch pilot hole, and will work with the Americana Wheel you referenced.

I have also included a link to the other center caps that are intended for wheels with a 3.19 inch pilot hole for your reference if you would like to choose a different style or material.

For the lug nuts you also have a couple of options. You could either use the Redline Chrome Trailer 1/2 inch lug nuts # 12CLN. These work with 1/2 inch wheel bolts, are 20 TPI (threads per inch) and have the 60 degree conical shape needed to work with the Americana HWT Series S5 wheels. If you would like a longer version, those are available as # 12CLN-L.
