    i was thinking the same thing! i love the flat cap look. it gives them more "vintage" and "attitude" look to them. great minds think alike.... :Handshake

    With flat Trans Am (the race, not the car) style caps and polished rims those are going to look sweet! :thumbs2:

    ive been looking around for flat centers (or just new centers for that matter) and on one seems to make them to fit these wheels. i may have to end up having them made myself thru some special people i know :D

    Just get some flat pieces of aluminum, trace out the pattern from one of your current caps, cut 'em out and drill out the holes - you're done!

    I stay and watch the guy who has been cutting out my grills and it's intresting. There is down time drawing it on the pc/program. Once it's done tho it's always available.
