imitation center caps...they are a little heavy though.
Fit's most aftermarket wheels....they don't fit stock ones...
I used them for a while and sitting on the shelf somewhere now

I'm pretty sure they're all the same. Even cargraphic one's aren't made by them. Mine looks just like the one's posted above.
It's a 4 piece with the removable red pin. It did look good on the car...

darn, could not open file, are they plastic or aluminum?
how do they attach, is it just a snap fit or some kind of expansion lock going into center of wheel?
BTW, thanks for your input

alum. Can be separated to be painted
a bolt holds 2 plates together. One plate goes on the inside and the outside plate is what you see in picture with the red pin.

no the three screw are real. every pat on theses caps is real and they completely dis-assemble very easy if you want to paint a different color.

You don't have to drill wheels do you?
Or are they contained in the center cap?
