Default Just got my Rota Slipstreams....now I need center caps. Where?

I just got my rota slipstreams (I love them). However, the Rota centercaps are ugly as hell. Does anyone know of plain, flat black, flat center caps that i can put on? Where can I get them?

I just got my Rota C8s and I left the cap off too. Looks better that way....

But I wouldn't mind getting the black Mugen center caps if they fit.... does anyone know if they will fit the C8's?
BTW... Da_Rock... did you get your tires yet???

to get this look, take off the rim from the car and spray paint the bearing cover flat black... it isnt a cap... just the bearing cover... it is on the rear's of our cars and the axle nut is on the front...

I wish they where that gunmetal! The rota gunmetal is like a metalic black. But, no I have silver. I'm actually very, VERY, happy w/ how they look.

Exactly. I left the center caps off my SSR Type-C wheels (a la the Realtime ITRs) and I think it looks pretty sweet. I haven't painted my axle nuts or bearing covers. If they rust too bad I may do that.

the center cap in the pic is axle the factory axle nut cover on integras? If you look at any integra without a centercap thats what you see in gold. He must have painted his factory cap black.

whats up with everyone dissing rota? Everyone loved when the c8's came out and noone dissed them because they are mugen copies. IM getting slipstreams because i need nice wheels and im in college and i am broke. Even if i had the money i doubt i would buy 15's for 2k. Rota rules for ripping off a nice clean wheel and making it affordable.
