Default Center caps, what do you use for the Rotas and Kosei??

I'm getting tired of no center caps and would like to know of a cheap solution, Has anyone made or bought caps for their Rotas or Kosei?

If you have cap for the rims could you post it?

thanks

dont really know of a cheap solution for centercaps... you can get the OEM ones to kinda fit on kosei's, but it doesnt look all that great.

another option is to order 2 more hubs for the front two wheels. You can then paint/powdercoat/plate them however you wish. I use to have the OEM A's on my k1's, but got sick of them not matching, got 2 more hubs, and plated them.

i am in the same boat looking for caps for my koseis. there have been posts in the past and it seems as though tirerack sells them, but they're not listed on the website. don't take my word for it though, this information was acquired just by browsing archived posts.

Nothing.

I have 4 sets of wheels for the R

Stockers,
Kosei's
Steelies,
And the blingin Te37's and None of them have center caps.

I took the centers out of the stock wheels my first Autocross and have never put them back on.


Geez Bb, you're full of the appearance and cosmetic queries these days.

Yeah... I'm almost happy with the power and now to change the appearance, just a little, I'm thinking camo paint to match D's lip

Now as for suspension... stock will have to do, I can't possible afford Buddy Clubs for a while. Besides that, I have RComps and 15x7 wheels on the way and that might do the trick for gettig a bit faster on the track.

just do what I did to the center caps. I blacked them out with a black adhesive plastic.

here is a link to some pics of my old GSR.

jOOr gonna use them at LRP? Hope it's warm, so I can run mine too. But regardless you'll love them and notice the difference like night and day.

Only problem will be that if you are at the limit of the stock suspension which I'd make a decent guess you already are now, the R comp's will be riding the edge all the time.

The Rota C8 caps are somewhat decent. They are as plain as you get.
