Does anyone know the diameter of the mugen center caps? Can you replace the rota wheel cap with a mugen one and will it fit? TIA

 

if you don't have the real one then don't pretend you do.

 

now claiming that you have the real thing when you have rotas that is rice, if you dont want to claim they are rotas dont claim anything, plus i can spot a knockoff from a mile away

 

haha..30 bucks each a center cap..so 120 for a set..thats like one rota wheel right there hahaha....

 

lol...true that. i really doubt hes trying to pass off the rota as a mugen...maybe he just likes the caps. but still,unless you have mugens,i wouldnt dish out 120 bucks for some caps.

 

well kinda pointless to spent that kind of money on center caps for knockoff's.. but then again it's your money...

 

I understand whats he's saying.I have a toyota camry and i want it to be an integra so i have acura and integra badges all over it. NOBODY NOTICES!!!!! seriously if you want mugens buy mugens, i have rotas and im not ashamed of having knock off wheels.

 

hahahaha

 

In all honesty, the center caps do make the wheels look nice. When I was considering Rota's, I was also considering the Mugen center caps because of the simple shape and look, not because they are Mugen. If they were made by Kraft I'd still buy them if they looked nice.

 

what do they look like? i've been going off of the fact that he wanted them because they were mugen... never have seen what they look like

 

 

I think C8's actually look better with the centercap removed.

 

come on guys dont hate on him he's just trying to show ppls he got some MUGEN wheels. hehe

 

I do not want to pass off the rotas as mugen. I simpily like the center cap better than the rota cap. I've also just thought off painting the rota cap flat black too. I've seen someone who has bought the rotas in the Philippines and they came with a center cap similar to the Mugen, granted it's not a Mugen but it looks better than having no center cap.

 

If you want Mugen caps, you will need to buy a set of genuine Mugen wheels. If you just stick the Mugen caps on your Rota knockoff-fakie wheels, everyone is going to laugh at your and call you riceboy.

Don't do it.

the MF center caps do not have any mugen emblem or stamp on them.

if one was lying in the street and somebody found it they probably wont know what kind of rim it is for, or what it is for that matter...

The C8 center caps are aluminum below the Rota logo. You can sand it down to the aluminum. That way you don't have to worry about any paint chips. You end up paying way less than Mugen .... isn't that why you bought Rota's in the first place? Here's mine:

 

What grade of sand paper did you use on your C8? I would have never thought of sanding it down. Thanks for the idea.

 

What about Mugen Center caps on Volk CE28N's???
Hmm......

 

I started out with 120 because there are some pretty deep groves. I worked my way all the way up to 1500+. I used some model sand paper and it's not labled - but it's almost as smooth as paper. They turned out really good.

What color were the center caps originally on your C8's? I plan on ordering 16" C8's in silver but vendors now say the center caps are that carbon fiber finish vs the silver that I originally saw/wanted.

 

thats like a white boy wondering about dyeing his skin pigmentation darker so he can be black

 

But does anyone make a centercap that looks similar to the Mugen one? I don't think so. So maybe he likes the way they look, and if he has the money and if they will fit, I say he should get them. If anyone made fun of him for doing that I would make fun of the other person for being a hater and not respecting other people's tastes, just because of different brands. I have a name brand suspension but tires of a brand I had never heard of before I got them (Nankang). But you know what, it WORKS, and it works WELL. Nobody has said anything bad to me about getting those tires yet, but even if they did, I wouldn't care, because I know they are good tires... at least they have been so far.
