There's got to be something you can do with those center caps. Regardless if you shaved off the Nissan wording or not, it still looks tacky showing a Nissan Emblem on a Toyota.
This is what I did with my old wheels. I took a random aluminum sign that just so happened to be laying around and drew on the back with a magic marker 4 circles that matched the center cap of each wheel. Cut them out with a jig saw, sanded the sides so it looked smooth and finally painted them black with a few coats. I used silicon to have them adhere to the wheel. Not a single one feel off from driving fast.
You could probably trace a circle around an aluminum sheet with those Nissan caps and do all the same. I think that would look far better than the ones that came with the wheel and it would turn out alot better than my old Rotas since the hub cap on that wheel was very largeeeee. At least the hole on your Nissan wheels is alot smaller and wont stand out as much.
This is a pic of the caps I used on my Rota Slipstreams.....
This is the full album to see how they look at a distance showing the whole car....

thanks guys
yup I flipped them, i need to add a note in the video about the direction
we'll see its winter months now and im not big on working on the car during cold. I still have few parts that i have to install but I keep forgetting especially since Im in graduate school and taking 150% class load while working nearly full time. Also, it's noticable in pics cuz you look at it like under a microscope when you see the car in person the eyes get drawn to the caliper haha
Since im not looking to dump much more $$ into this car, I may end up fixing up the older mods so the center caps may come up......or new

After I will finally be able to review the MR coilovers after 15,000 miles
