Default ce28n center cap

Does anyone know what size the center caps are for the ce28n's in s2k spec sizing? I'm trying to order some new ones (I refuse to pay for legit ones) for my aging wheels to spruce them up a little. I don't have easy access to the wheels right now, otherwise I'd pop them off and measure them.

I don't know the answer. But, I will say that the cheap plastic knock offs I bought on ebay last year were actually decent looking.

My thoughts exactly. Even if they break when removing them for a tire replacement/balance, it still makes sense economically. My wheels are time attack color schemed (black with red lip) and I have the legit volt raised chrome center caps with the carbon center. I'd prefer an all black look with red lettering.

I’ve been looking at some also. I called Evasive Motorsports and that guy said I need a wheel spacer because the cap would hit the axle nut on the rear? Is that true or did I talk to a new guy there? I was about to spend $300 to find out

I had ce28s with s2k specs. There are several styles of center caps. Common ones are the low style and the high style. In addition to the ebay knock offs, I also had a set of the low style oem caps that I bought used. They all fit fine with no spacers. But, I would trust Evasive on this - they will know the answer if you give them accurate info. Maybe others here can help with that fitment question as well.

The Volk caps are just under 60mm.



Most of the 17x9 +63 wheels will fit with the center cap. I've had several sets and the Volk center caps fit with no problems.


There have been a few rare CE28 wheels produced in the 17x9 +63 size with a more concave spoke, those are the ones that the center cap won't fit. On those wheels the lug nuts would stick out more than the way they are in the picture above. There's more info about those wheels at the end of this thread:

Thank you for the info! Looks like I am going to have to pull a cap to be certain the caps will fit my wheels. Looking to go with flat caps.

Almost all of the CE28 17x9 +63 are the standard version, so the Volk center caps fit with no problem.
If you have the rare concave CE28 17x9 +63 you will see almost no visible flange. If that's the case the center caps will hit the axle nut.
And, the lug nut area looks different on the concave version.

Bringing this back from the dead....for anyone that used a spacer, what size did you eventually use to clear the axle nut?
