Is no center caps a new JDM thing or something? Im seeing all these very serious cars in magazines and other places with no center caps.

Just wondering if anyone esle noticed this......and what you guys think.

 

bah... it's been around for a while. The trend that started here was first with Honda's and the first F&F. It was a "tuner" look. No center caps were supposed to be a sign that you take your wheels on and off too often tweaking your Suspension and whatever to warrant putting your caps back on. Dumb and pointless "psuedo-mod" that was just there cause everyone did it. Like 1 vertical wiper, or a tow ring on a civic that never sees track time. These are all things that had racing roots and reasons, then just got riced out and done wrong. "No you can't just use JB Weld to mount your annodized tow hook."

 

not all wheels have center caps available..for example work meister s1

 

must be ricer wheels then






jk

 

ugly. gotta have center caps

 

?? I dont get it... no center caps means you were too cheap to spend the extra $50 bucks for center caps

btw.. those WORKS are hot wheels.. they don't come with center caps?

 

nope....they just dont make them for those wheels

 

gotta love rice!!!

 

Eww.. wow.. I'd have some CNC'ed for them then

 

I haven't ran center caps for about a year after two of mine broke from "removing my wheels for the track" so I can put either different tires or for whatever reason there was. So I just left them off and people ask why I don't have them and after I tell them what happened and how I like it better, they say they like it better as well. I did have the center touched up like bnazty as well. By the way B, nice brakes!

 

center caps add rotational mass to the wheel.
no caps=faster car.


tommy

 

Some wheels do look good w/o center caps.

 

Oh boy!

 

The horror. The horror.

 

I bought some SSR GT-2s from Tire Rack and they claimed that they did not make center caps for them. Inquired with TR a couple more times and they "found" some, $100 for set of 4. Kind of suprising as when they arrived they were stamped with GT-2 on them. WTF?

 

well...
on track use...
drag or otherwise..
you are supposed to remove centercaps and hub-caps

 

ummmmmm.....yeah.

 

I bought some cheap wheels for the z when i first got it . the center caps kept falling out and at 15 bucks a pop i decided to go center capless and i actually thought it looked better.

 

alot of wheels do not have center caps...

most track / drift organiztions do not allow for center caps on the track as well...

 

WORK Emotion CR KAI's dont have them either, so im gonna have to paint the bearing thing black I think
