Default Can someone find me 19" Silver Nismo LMGT4 Center Caps??

I see them on performancenissan but they're for $40+ each. They're just plain silver. Is there another place to get them? Would generic ones be ok? These are going on my G35. Im not talking about the raised silver caps with bronze in them? I just waited something flat and silver.

Basically the same ones seen here: https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-tires/180185-my-sb-with-19-nismo-lmgt4.html

Thanks!

Well how about decals on them now? Rays decals? I think that would serve my purpose and I'd still be able to keep the raised center cap look. I'm starting to like how they look now.

Anyone know where I can get some of those?

Not sure what your asking for here...Rays decals or Rays center caps? ...and by decals do you mean the ones that come on the Volk wheels that say Rays Engr?

Sorry for the confusion. Basically what I meant to say was I have raised bronze/gold Rays caps on already. I wanted the silver ones instead. I see the silver ones are flat however and not raised. After seeing the raised on my car I kinda like the look of them. I look online but only see the silver Nismo center caps (I think they're just plain silver) for around $160+ for all 4. Kinda steep. So in keeping the raised look Im thinking how about just some Rays silver decals I can put on top of the gold center caps I have now? That'll solve the problem and still look great IMO. Would you have any idea where to get some though? I cant' find any after I googled or on Ebay. I find generic silver I can make from edecals.com or something but would prob. want Rays written on them if I can. Not sure if such a product exists though!

Contact Mike at thepowdercoater.com he has a guy who makes decals for him. He might be able to get some Rays decals made and then you could put them onto the plain silver caps.

I purchased some black decals with sliver and red "Nismo" lettering on them from a guy named Rory in the UK off Ebay. They are high quality vinyl and fit my flat silver LMGT4 center caps perfectly. I like them much better than the flat silver center caps. They really help set off the center of the wheels and they tie in nicely to the "Nismo" lettering on the spoke.

He makes other colors too or he could custom make you some. I understand from him that he will do custom decals any way you want them. I have his email address if you want to email me I will send it to you.

Yeah definitely. My car is Diamond Graphite though so it would probably be best to keep it silver instead of a black center cap. Do you have pics though I'd like to see? Also do you send him a Nismo image or would I have to send him a Rays image?

I have the raised center caps, not the flat ones. Anyone have any idea on the diameter of the circle? Maybe someone has it offhand without me measuring!

Thanks

I know he makes them in different colors and diameters. I just found them in black when I was looking on Ebay and gave him the diameter I wanted when I ordered them. I understand he can do different colors and logos as well. You will have to ask him if he can do "Rays" or something else other than "Nismo". I don't know why he couldn't do silver with black lettering.

I don't have any pics here at work, but I will look later and see if I can post one. I really like the way mine look now with the black, red and silver. on the wheels. My brake calipers are also red.

Great, pictures would be great. Can I get his contact info? I think silver and black writing on them would work pretty hot with the Nismo logo!

I have the stock 18's but not sure they'd even fit into the Nismos? I think it would look alright though. May have to pull one out and see.

The stock (OEM) center caps will not fit the Nismos unless you have the 03-05 Track wheels. I used to have a set of the Track wheels on my car before the Nismos. I bought some Z logo center caps for my Track wheels from Courtesy Nissan. They will fit the Nismo wheels. However, the only problem is that they don't fit flush like the Nismo center caps do. They leave a small gap around the edges which shows the intented edge of the inside of the center of the wheel. They don't look bad, but not as clean/finished as the Nismo center caps. That is one reason I went with the decals.

Sorry. I haven't communicated with him since last August. I also checked Ebay and I didn't see any listings by him. I suggest looking on Ebay. When I looked there were other Nismo decals available. That is basically what I did when I got mine. Or you could try another type center cap.
