CCW classic center caps

Outside of buying the center caps from CCW directly has anyone had luck with fitting a center cap to their non race version CCW classic wheels? CCW only sells the raised polished style cap and I'm not sure I want to spend 300$ on center caps that I will still need to power coat.
Thanks
Shawn

I have the race version and dream of some flat center caps.... I have thought about having a machine shop make some.

You could probably get some of those ebay centercaps and modify them to fit. Cheap and would still look good. http://m.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SET-OF-4-P...445?nav=SEARCH

Yea I'm willing to try to make a center cap work for sure, I'm just unsure of what securement style would be best.

I think they're a hyper black or hyper silver color. They just went on the other day so not a ton of pictures. One of my friends did a promotional video for his waxes and my car makes a few cameos.

Are you using hub centric rings or are they machined to fit the hubs? Mine have center caps that are required as centering rings, wondering if I could have some made and run without the caps.

Thanks! I'm very happy with the attitude they give the car, I also feel like they age the car a little bit in a good way. The tires are way overkill 245/315 but the rolling diameter works. I'll probably do another rear set of r888s and then go to a rival or 615.

No hub-centric rings on this set, they mounted up and fit the hub w/o issue.

I just sanded down a set of stock ones and siliconed them in on my car. My wheels are white which made it easier, and I have c14 ccw's
