Default Rota C8 Centercaps???

I am going to buy some Rota C8's for my integra, and was wondering if there were any other centercaps for them besides the dumb carbon fiber ones that say Rota on them?

Anybody???

Thanks in Advance,
Jon

By the way, what offset do you think I should get if I even have a choice with the C8's??? All I have seen is a +38mm offset, is that the closest to stock? I don't want my wheels sticking out of the fender wells.

Thanks,
Jon

Well, if you are going to get 16" the offset is 45. I don't think you get a choice. Maybe I'm wrong. Also, C8's don't come with the carbon fiber center caps. I don't have a good picture of mine new. But they are black and have some lame ROTA logo on them. The cool part about them is that they have an aluminum layer just under the paint. Sand off the paint and they will look like this:

Thanks alot Jaminak, that is exactly the centercap that I wanted to have on them. So all you have to do is strip the paint off the centercaps that they come with. Where did you order your C8's, and do they always come with the centercaps, or will it say when you order them if they come with them or not?

Thanks,
Jon

All I did was sand the caps down. I started at 100 grit because the paint is layered on there funky. I worked my way up to 1400 grit. I got mine from Revolution Motorsports last year. I didn't specify anything. I was planning on not using any center caps, so I didn't care. After sanding one down it changed my mind.

HTH, Jamin

I don't know. But I'm sure it wouldn't be very expensive to buy just to test out.
