Exclamation LMGT4 Center Caps...Help!

Need a set of center caps for my LMGT4s. Ordered some JDM versions and they are too large . Go figure that there is a difference between USDM and JDM GT4s

1. Does anyone know where i can get a set of silver USDM version center caps?
2. Do any other center caps fit (Volk,Advan,G-Games), etc?

Help is appreciated

I would be interested in what he says about the other caps, I've never seen someone with different ones.

MissosuriG35, I have looked long and hard for USDM LM GT4 center caps as a separate item with no go. Closest I found were to order them (5 years ago now, but no longer available), from Japanparts.com at a cost of about $65-66 EACH plus shipping. I also have a set of JDM LM GT4 center caps and have found the same size issue as you. OTOH, I have made some custom LM GT4 center caps using the ABC plastic center caps from the Nismo V1 wheels (yes, they fit, but you must glue them in to be "tight". I use silicone tub caulk. PM or reply if you want pix. PM me if you want to make me an offer on a never used set of USDM LM GT4 center caps I have from a spare set of wheels.

Replied to your PM MissouriG35.

My street tires run on silver LM GT4s with a custom centercap made by machining down the "dome" on the stock centercaps, so it is flat. I then laminated a layer of CF topped by a "Z" emblem (from the rear bumper logo) to create something unique.



My R-compound track tires run on black LM GT4s with a custom centercap made using the Nissan ABS centercap from the Track model, six spoke wheels. I drilled off the OEM Nissan 'hamburger' logo, repainted it and topped it with a Nismo emblem off ebay. It fits almost perfectly (just slightly loose), so I glue it in with silicone caulk to make sure it doesn't fly off during hard cornering!


(my spare set of LMGT4 center cap at 12 o'clock and the Z logo centercap for the track wheel is at 5 o'clock. This can also be customized, and is available from Courtesy Nissan parts here in Texas.
