Try these. 58mm is the size. Easily found on e-bay.

Are those in the left-side pic really correct for RPF1s? It says that the head is 58mm and the back is 52mm.

According to what I've seen, get flat Honda caps and paint them to match the wheel. The Honda/Acura folks all put their stock, 2.75" caps on their RPF1s.

Centercaps are over rated...they look tougher without them

Those are metal and they scratch the SHYT out of the paint.... Enkeis already are notorious for paint flaking around the bolt holes and center hole with nothing touching them.... if you feel the need to buy some, get something plastic.

Get center caps from a 06-11 civic si. Those will fit. Check on 8thcivic.com to see if anyone is selling a set.

No. The only OE caps that fit are Hondas.

Turbo13, how do you like those rims with the Tein suspension? I'm switching out what's on this car right now since every bump on the stock struts and silly springs on this cause rubbing.

Wait are you SURE those flat caps will fit? Looks awfully close to the hub (castle) nut.

so around 40-60 bucks for honda caps and time spent to get rid of the honda emblem or it will look dumb on a mitsubishi.
why would you cheap out and not pay the extra $100 for enkei center caps for a set of wheels mostly likely to have cost ~$1200

I know that this isn't the Show and Shine sub-forum, but IMO the Enkei centercaps for RPF1s look like crud, especially on black wheels.

More like $10 for the Civic si center caps on e-bay. I prefer the red diamond Mitsu logo which I can get for another $20. I love the RPF1 wheel, but seriously $100+ for center caps is pure greed. The exact same design without the Enkei logo are about $5 a piece.
