Default Center Caps

Hello all,

I had the new shoes put on the X today, and will have pictures tomorrow.

Anyway, the centercaps are slightly too big to fit the wheels...they stick out slightly and would likely fly off.

Are there any centercaps that are smaller than the ones that came on my 17" Aguillas?

Thanks,
Jer

Congratulations! Which wheels did you go for in the end? In response to your question, I think www.minagallery.com has center caps for aftermarket wheels (at least they included a brochure in one of the parts I ordered for my car that indicated aftermarket caps are available). I don't see the items listed in the brochure on their web site, so I'd suggest calling them to confirm for sure.

Thanks Matt.

I ended up purchasing the Momo Winter wheels from Discount Tire.

I kinda with that they has metallic flake in the paint like the factory Aguilla's, but you cant' get everything. At least they are glossy.

My wife took pictures before she took the vehicle to get the wheels put on and I took some this morning with the new wheels. I will post when I get home this evening.

I also needed to replace another tire because the sidewall was bulging.

I am actually very impressed with discount tire. He said the tire was $145. I told him I would only pay $130 because I had already paid $15 per tirefor him to mount and balance the tire on the new wheel. He told me for the trouble I was having he would sell it to me for $105 and it would include road hazard and lifetime warranty for all 4 tires even though I didn't purchase 3 of them there.

Hopefully NTB will price match because I paid $180 for a new tire there last week from the original flat on the cracked rim.

Again, pictures will come this evening.

Thanks for all the help everyone!
