so i bought my wheels, didnt come with centercaps, thats ok i figure i could buy them somewhere. i found some, asked for a price on them, was told $1100 . so i went a different route and made my own, some pics for your viewing pleasure.

and what the oem look like, maybe i can get some vinyls made up to really finish it.

Edit: oh i forgot to mention that the front hub assembly, the spindle stuck out past the wheel, so the domed caps worked great.

 

Nice! very creative.

 

i voted
they don't look bad. it's actually a very smart alternative to buying what amounts to a useless piece of aluminum. good work.

 

shorter lugs would make a helluva difference...

 

yah they'd be hard as hell to grab when taking the wheels off.

 

DIY FTMFW. Brilliant, good sir.

The hub holes in my wheels are a bit smaller... nonetheless, off to the Depot!! I'll find something!!

 

props for creativity! (and clean those wheels!)

 

Nice!

 

great ingenuity

 

nice props......

 

interesting hub ring color. did they come with the wheels?

 

no he got those hub rings from discount tire direct

oh and phil guess what i voted for

 

straightness?

 

straightness?

 

"clean those wheels"

like so

 

I kinda like them without center caps, imo.

 

haha yep

 

i liked them without the caps, but it was a good and creative idea, but the OEM ones are flat and iunno, the bulge in the middle doesn't really fit the rims too much..

 

yes you said guess what i voted for and i said your straightness because your ___

 

did you have spacers on there before? Looks good otherwise with the caps.
