Will any other center caps fit the 17" wheels?

Not impressed with Honda pricing, do any other model of car fit our car? Can you just get generic silver ones in a certain size and then put a Honda sticker on them? orrrrr?

The caps or the stickers? The DC5 stickers are a little larger but a lot cheaper IIRC.

The actual caps. I was thinking caps on another type of honda the caps may fit the S2000 also, maybe.

16" or 17" wheels?

I "believe" some Mercedes wheels have to same cap diameter as the Honda 17" (??75mm?? from memory), you can get generic plastic ones on eBay etc, but I have yet to find any with a nice finish to which you could apply a decal. They seem to like a grey plastic finish for some reason!

Just as easy to refurbish the old ones, rip off the silver "milk bottle top" a quick clean up, get some silver speed tape 100mm wide, smooth it on, logos from someone like sticker dude on eBay, a coat of lacquer and you are done.

There are a few how to's on here.

When i had my civic the alloys on it didnt have centre caps, I measured the bore etc and found generic ones on ebay, most of the listings i seen provided dimensions in the descriptions. painted them and put a Honda sticker on them and worked a treat. May be worth having a look
