Default Custom center caps

Here are some center caps I made for my rims... Still getting around to trying to mount them and have them stay in... I made 4 but there are 2 pictured... also they are out of aluminum and they are really nice!



let me know what you think?

Machine a groove in the part that slides into the rim so you ccan put a o-ring around it.

It will be nearly impossible to take out unless you pry on it with something.

Here is a quick solidworks drawing for you. Not to scale, drawn totally freehand.

See the groove I am talking about. I think volk center caps are this way too.

What kind of wheels are these for? You're making them custom for any? They look really nice, but really bulky

What rims did you make yours for? People are probably willing to spend anywhere from 20-40max for some centercaps.
