Default a different kind of centercap!?

looking for a different centercap for the ap1 wheels. something that fits or thats just plain. I was debating on powdercoating a set of ap1s for autocross but didnt want the oem centercaps looking the stock color or... looking like crap.

is there a universal black centercap for ap1 wheels? the mugen ones im sure dont fit but a basic look centercap like them would do me more then enough justice.

any ideas del val!?

Mugen's design is faily simple, and I am sure you could find something very similar and make them yourself with basic machining.

Wheels powder coated satin black. Center caps painted with a flat black paint and a semigloss clear. Match just about perfect.

They make gold and bronze wheel paint, just scuff up the stock center caps and spray away, clear coat to protect against chips more. Your choice to powder coat or spray the wheels, but you should be able to match the color either way.
