Default Wheel Centers

Alright so last night I finally mounted my new RPF-1's that I bought like a week or two ago and have a little problem with the wheel centers being nice looking.

My rotors are all rusty even though they're brand new but you can see that the centers are all nasty looking. I've seen a buncha Z's with RPF-1's without center caps and it looks good... unlike mine.

Any advice on what to do to make it look less like... that?

touch up paint for the wheels, and add some center caps to hide the rust.

PM me if you're interested in pricing on the center caps.

There is already a huge thread for these wheels that you could reference:

https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...ei-thread.html

Also, it looks as though you may have purchased the wrong offset wheels for a Z, they look like FWD offsets..

I agree w/ Waizzz, you definetley need to put some spacers on and push those bad boys out. Curious as to what size wheels and the offset you ordered. Order some caps.

FYI center caps for 18s are different than 19s. I cant tell by the pics the sizes (blocked at work blahh)

If you have 18s, some people order centercaps from CCW, just measure the bore and order the proper size. The 18" centercaps for the RPF1's look hideous if you ask me....the 19" Centercaps look SO much better, too bad they dont fit

For my thread before merge, the wheels are +35 offsets. I got them off a local guy who ran them on his Evo. I already knew the offsets weren't going to give me the most aggressive look and that the wheels were going to look small but I couldn't pass the deal up.

I'm going to be looking to get spacers later down the road but that's not high priority. I might get center caps but if possible I wanted to know what other RPF-1 owners did to sorta hide that stuff without getting center caps.

This color has grown on me over the past few years, I hated it when I first got my Z, now I like it more than my SB.
