funny that this post showed up i'm also in the hunt for some different center caps for my GT-S...i really don't like the way how big they are. i might be construct some on my own and get them made in my workshop here at work.
not sure though how low i can go with the center caps i want them to be as flat as possible. does anyone know if that's possible at all? or do i need some inner clearance for the hub bolt and drive shaft bolt? didn't had the time to put them on the car without center caps to have a closer look on that.

I think your best bet would be to pull off one of your center caps and see how much room you have behind it

I've never seen those exact center caps so I can't give you any solid input. That design, with the big VR, is quite common but that particular cap I've never seen. Usually they have a red or yellow ring around it.

I think the "VR" style like mine were common on the Volk Challenge wheels. But like you said, I can't find any like mine

I know some limited edition colors came with the VR caps too. My formula silver ce28n's have the VR cap with the red ring around the outside.

I don't believe mine are limited edition. I think they are just the diamond black finish

Forget to add this in here. My brother surprised me by having my wheels refinished for Christmas. Not bad for 10 year old wheels

PS I find it amusing how proud I am of my cheapness. Hahahahaha!! But... I don't cheap out on what really counts, the parts themselves. Not THAT concerned about the authenticity of the dress-up stuff!
Sorry to bring up the past! Holy cow those are nice

Picture of my ce28n's in Formula Silver.

Fronts are 19x9.5 +22 with 255/35
Rears (even though they're not pictured) are 19x10.5 +22 with 285/35

I like how you incorporated the AKEBONO font onto the caliper versus the traditional Nissan.

Thanks. CZP offers the akebono lettering if you opt for their custom powder coating. The best part is they silk screen the letters on rather than use stickers. I've seen too many caliper stickers/decals that haven't held up well at all.
