You do know that a lot of aftermarket wheels dont actually come with them, they have to be purchased.. I never really understood why but its not like people take them off thinking it looks better, I bet most just said screw buying them because there not always THAT cheap.

I like my volks center caps, just sucks that it cost like $150 for set.
I mean whatever works for each person.

Enkei rpf1 and advan rg center caps just looks horrible, i never bothered buying them for my set.

does it matter?? not everyone has money and time to paint their brakes and their calipers. Some people track their cars and don't really care for cosmetics. I could really care less what my brakes look like. As long as they do their job its cool. i'm not going to spend 2000+ dollars for a set of wheels let alone pay 150+ for the stupid center caps. Why do people change out their nice oem wheels and put cheap knock offs on their cars?? its all about personal preference. If you really can't comprehend why people don't put center caps on their cars and leave their rusty rotors exposed then how do you tackle everyday life situations? seriously worry about your own car

Not every wheel will accomodate centercaps as well, this thread is useless, please close thread mods.

First of all- it's the hub that needs to be painted- not the rotor. I have aftermarket axles/hubs in the rear and I don't think centercaps will fit. I don't wanna waste $200 to find out.

Low offset wheels are the currrent craze, and the rear axle nut sticks out far enough that alot of the wheel/offset combos can't accomodate the centercap. It' would look dumber to sport just the front centercaps.

I agree completely---------it took me a whopping 10 minutes to paint the hubs black when I switched out to aftermarket wheels that didn't originally have center caps, looks much better than the rusted look
