So for those have Enkei rpf1's, you know that the price for their center caps is a little steep. And they look very cheap and IMHO they dont do the wheels justice at all. I did some research on the web to find some cheaper caps that fit, and a good way to color match them to the enkei black. They look much better than the enkei caps to me.

Here is what you need:
Four Honda 44732S9AA000 center caps ($15 on ebay)
200-600 grit sandpaper
Rustoleum Satin black exterior spray paint

I was able to find these center caps on ebay for $14 shipped used. It doesn't really matter if they are used and beat up cause you will be sanding them down and re-painting them anyways.

First, give the faces of the center caps a good sanding to remove the paint thats on them. I would suggest around 300-400 grit sandpaper:


Then give them some of the rustoleum black spray paint. Do a heavy first coat with this paint. And let t dry overnight:


The next day you will want to wet sand them. I used 500 grit wetsand on these and it turned out pretty smooth:


Then dry them off thoroughly and spray another coat of black paint. You may need a couple of coats depending on your wet sanding skills. I did a couple of final coats and ended up with a factory looking finish:


Then just push them into the hole in your wheels, they should fit pretty snug. No need to secure them in any other way. done


Total cost is about $25 for everything including paint.

 

Nice find!

 

Thanks man, I believe I have a couple of sets from my Honda days. Gotta go dig in the garage now.

Cause i saw honda guys running their honda center caps on their RPF1's lol

And thanks guys I'll get some better pics here in a sec

 

Nice job OP!

 

Ahh, makes sense haha. Good thinking outside of the box though! I have seen people use knock out plugs as well, but I like the look of these more. They remind me of Volk flat caps.
