You're better off not faking the funk, dude. I hope you're not intending to go with centercaps from the manufacturer of the genuine wheels. Just rock what you've got, and be proud of it.

I've got a set of drags myself, and I've very proud of them.

But I agree, the center caps are VERY ugly.



Probably going to pop them out, just not sure what I'll put it. Untill then. They will stay on there

Either that, or you could just rock no centercaps. One of my friends has just some freaking Nippon "Spoon" rims. The centercaps are so retarded, he just decided to go with no caps at all. Thing is, I think he pulls off the look nicely.

What I'm saying is

-stick with the original centercaps
-go with no centercaps
-just don't go with the centercaps from the original wheel manufacturer, it's kinda tacky.

What I did when I purchased aftermarket wheels for my GLI was to remove the adhesive emblems from the included centre caps, and replace them with custom ones (I chose a blue/white VW logo) from a company called Making it Digital. The quality of the new emblems was very nice, and you can request essentially any custom logo and size.
