Default People with Rotas... what can you do about no center caps?

I'm getting kind of annoyed of looking at my wheels without centercaps. my axle nuts aren't that pretty, what did you guys do about this?
do other center caps fit on? I have black slipstreams, and I'd like to just stick a flat black one over it.

Thats what i did...take the wheels off...sand the axle nuts a bit, and spray em black. looks ridiculously better than those rota center caps.

Are you talking about the ugly fake CF ones? I have black slipstreams and I just bought the Circuit8 center caps, sanded them down, and painted them flat black.

What's wrong with the Rota centercaps, exactly? They're centercaps: they aren't going to kill the JDM look of your ride or anything. They're better than nothing, in my opinion.

fake CF bulging out in the middle of a wheel just isn't my thing...

Late model Accord 16" centercaps fit, but they're not fully flush, probably stick out a few MM... I went to my local honda dealership and tried it.

didn't buy them though because they were 14$ EACH
