    EXT: Wheel Caps

    Originally posted by Type Ek
    I just made some caps for my 16' konig Heliums that will probably work for many other rims/sizes. I got the idea off of another message board.

    1. Take a trip to Home Depot and buy "Knock Out" Plugs. They range from 1/2 inch to 2 inches. I used a 2 inch plug. They were 0.70 cents a piece so I bought eight.

    2. Spray paint them or get them powder coated. I got all 8 of mine powder coated for $20.

    3. Bent the little tabs on the back out so they will stick when you insert them into the rim.

    4. Insert them into the center cap area of the rim and enjoy.

    This is a decent, custom looking center cap that is very inexpensive to make. I have had mine on for 4 weeks and they havent fallen out or caused me any problems. You can also get some vinyl "H" or "A" decals to put in the middle of these caps or you can leave them plain and simple like it did. Now for the pics...

    Final shot of the new center caps and some semi gloss black lugs.


    I also decided to get some anodized black zenki valve stems but didn't want them to fade so I also got them powder coated semi gloss black when I got the caps and lugs powder coated. They came out very nice.


    Installed them...

    Here is all the other caps I tried but didn't work...They are all for sale as well...

    Any question, comments, or concerns you can pm me!

                    yea the center cap that covers the small hole between the lug nuts.

                    i talked to guy and he said any hardware store should have them.

                    maybe its varies from place to place
