heres a crazy thought...... paint the axle nuts before they rust! paint them, black, gold, silver.. whatever tickles your fancy... i usually paint mine black... so it hides everything, and you focus less on the nut and coddar pin......

i have axis reverbs, and the center caps look like ***.... they are huge and bulky, so i took them off... and it loks a million times better! sometimes, just because they come with center caps, doesnt always mean it'll look better by putting them on

I have 17x9.5 Advan RG2s and I don't have center caps... And since I race the car , I don't really care about center caps, nor I want to spend $100 to get them

I HATE center caps!!! It really depends on the type of wheel though. On a simple 1pc wheel I prefer to not have them. Here is a pic of what I plan to run here somewhat soon. Now tell me that doesnt look functional, clean, and sexy...



SICK!!!!

My rotas came with center caps but they didnt fit. My advans didnt come with center caps though. I doubt they would fit anyways.

Just paint the axle nut black. Clean off the rust first.

I didnt have one for a while, because I couldnt find a vendor that sold them for my Focal F5. So i rocked none because it was better than rocking 3. I have all 4 now.

Woah! Look out, my nuts are almost hanging out!

Seriously though, I don't like the way most center caps look. I agree with what TURBevO8 says about them. And when I get emotions for the evo, it's nuts are going to be exposed as well.

My Work XD9's didnt come with center caps. When I called to get some I was told "We dont offer them because they are race wheels". Seriously I kid you not. I laughed and hung up the phone.

I have Advan RS and they do not make center caps for mine either.
But who has time to look at them when you are passing them like they are sitting still.....haha
