Default looking for cheap central cap solution for Volks

got my Volks RE30.

i don't want to pay crazy money for their caps - so looking for cheap solution - something like universal plastic caps would do (i will paint them or put S or RAYS decal over it).

the diameter should be 65mm/2.56".

but i don't see any at Ebay or Google

will appresiate advise and suggestions.

Why would you want cheap caps for expensive wheels? Maybe what you needed was cheap wheels.

Oh yeah because the caps make such an amazing difference in how the wheel performs. I don't get why people post just to talk crap.

I would look on eBay. What kind of caps do they use? Clip in or screw down or what? There may be a Honda cap that would work but I don't know exactly which one.

If this is your logic, then no cap would be best.... I agree that it seems dumb to have $2k wheels (which, I bet, were purchased both for looks + performance) and make it look cheap with some cheap caps. I bet you could find a set of caps on ebay for like $100?
