Thumbs up OEM center caps work with Work Emotion wheels?

Just wanting to make sure this is correct before buying some.
Read some threads that the oem s2000 center caps snap right on the work emotion cr kai wheels. I like having a center cap so if so would buy some and color match them hopefully.

I am not sure on those wheels but more often than not the caps do not work on aftermarket wheels.

Yeah I just saw some pictures with them mounted on these wheels and read a couple posts about it but just want to be 100% before finding some and getting them paint matched etc.

I can personally say I've seen it work, User Marcpb443 had a 2001 BB Turbo AP1 with Work Emotions on it and I saw with my own two eyes that he used OEM AP1 center caps on them. Let me dig up a picture or two.







Sanded/Painted to match, roughly. Works better than nothing.

Picked up some oem center caps tonight at a local meet. Gonna sand them up and try and find a good paint match for the gunmetal finish.

Sweet. Painted some center caps flat black and snapped right in. The rears don't push in all the way but seem to be in there tight and not coming loose. Looks much better now!!

I just got some oem center caps from eBay. Hopefully I'll be doing this mod next weekend. Can you share some pics of how yours turned out?

what wheels did you end up getting? I know you kept asking about RPF1s in black or SBC. I might pick up some CR 17x9, but I want 9" all around.
