As for the center caps, I ordered a custom set of center cap stickers from this company....
http://3dcarstickers.com/en/auxpage_yourlogo/

The are made in Ukraine, mine should be in any day now.


This is what I ordered in 63mm...


Since the Forgestar center caps can be installed backwards, I will stick the new sticker on the other side.
Wow, that is great. $7.99? Are you kidding me. That is the cheapest solution ever to a "fix" I've been trying to figure out for ever. Buy the way, I have the 18"'s in GT2 fitment and love them.....

Ya, not thrilled about the solution, but it is "a" solution. Mine are the newer caps, with the bug F and fake carbon fiber look. I'd love to buy some caps that I know will fit, and are silver instead of gold. my car have been de-golded....

I have a message into forgestar to see if they can help. Worst case I'll buy another set of their caps and CUSTOMIZE!

At least this mod will be less than four figures. Hopefully.

So my center cap "stickers" came in today and I just finished installing them on my center caps. (still waiting on my rear wheels to get here)
I think they turned out GREAT!
This is a great, ChEAP alternative.

Thanks!
These were maybe $20 shipped because they are the "custom" ones.

Again this is the site I ordered them from
http://3dcarstickers.com/en/auxpage_yourlogo/

I ordered them in 63mm

Is that where the extra two came from?
They arrived one day and I had no idea who sent them because I also talked to my dealer that I ordered the rears from.
