Custom wheel center caps.

This started out as just something that I was going to have done for myself but when I ran it by some close friends in the evo community, they said that it was a great idea and that others would want a set. That being said, I'm not a vendor here so for now this is to just gauge the interest but providing that the interest is good, I will take the appropriate steps to sell them.

The product:

I'm going to be having some custom center-caps made for Volks and Enkei's to begin with and expand from there and I'm curious to see if there would be any interest from EvoM members. These will have billet aluminum outer bezels with either titanium or brass pressed center rings and carbon fiber centers. These will put any Volk, Advan, HRE, etc. center caps to shame in the quality and materials, period. I will have pricing for the Volk and Enkei center caps this Thursday and pics up by next week, hopefully Monday. By next week I'm also hoping to have the pricing for Advan center-caps but they will be very similar to the Volks pricing.

Also, the center-caps would come with the option of being custom cnc's with names and logos or designs. They will also be serialized to the original purchaser.

So what is everybody's take on this? Yay or Nay?

I will have pricing on Thursday and pics on Monday-ish of my custom set that I'm having produced as well as another set for a friend. This is still a feeler though, want to see what interest there is before I commit to the undertaking. I will say though that the pricing will be inline with that of the Volks and Advans though, but the material, quality, and finish will be much better and unique.

I will have different pricing levels, but the all out pressed centers with solid titanium or brass rings will not be cheap lol.

Alright...got the pricing. For the center caps with pressed brass rings and carbon centers, they are $100 each and for the simpler centers that are not raised and have only a carbon center, they are $65 each.

Also, these prices are with a minimum order of 5 sets of center caps (20 total) and if more are bought then the price would go down more.

That being said...who is interested still lol?
