Need advice on custom centercaps
I am so f**king pissed right now. I bought these RH Racing J5 Pro V2 wheels off of a member on G35Driver.com without centercaps. I asked him if he had the centrcaps and he never replied so I just thought, oh well I will buy some from DazzMotorsports. I bought the wheels, bought tires, spent $500 to get the bronze taken off and get them polished, called up DazzMotorsports today and they don't come with centercaps and there is no centercap that fits them . My fault for not checking before I bought them, but now I need an idea for custom cetner caps. It looks terrible without them and I would have never bought them had I known before hand. No hard feelings towards the seller by the way. Anyways, anybody have any ideas to make some RH centercaps work or some way to make custom ones? Thanks.

centercaps are for sissies
custom ones should not be all that difficult to make, though you'll need to find a machine shop to make em
My recommendation would be to make a template out of cardboard. Make sure you make some sort of allowance for the cap to actually stay stuck inside the wheel (tabs, spring loaded ring, etc)

They are 19" wheels. I already tried OEM and they were too small. I want to see if I can find some that fit before I go to a machine shop. From looks alone, the Axis centercaps off of my girlfriends wheels look like they may work. I will measure the hole soon to see what will fit. There has to be something out there already.
