What are your thoughts on full billet wheel center caps?

So would you?

Quality looks very good.
Too shiny.
Too heavy.

Yes. But what is the indent on the bottom black stripe and the top black stripe? Part of the manufacturing process? They look very well built.

Same as the current holes we have in our center caps. That's for the cap removal tool to grip/remove the center cap.

Mine has an indentation on the side of the cap to pop it out. Maybe because it's a center lock wheel.

They look pretty sharp! If I could find a set anodized in black I'd rock them.

That is the retaining rubber gasket that holds them to the factory wheels vs. the factory plastic prongs, over time the factory prongs can become brittle and break, these if they get old will only require a replacement gasket (cost around $2 per set).

Actually after much debate we decided not to have the holes drilled on the caps, why? One reason: SECURITY, it would be a pretty cold day to come out and find that someone made off with your nice set only to be sold on OU or CL, we can drill them out if the buyer wants them drilled however there will be a $20 charge per set to have them modified.

Yes sir, very different set-up, yours is to pop off the cover to gain access we currently have no offerings for CL wheels at this time.

We no longer offer anodized parts, however there are plenty of shops who do that sort of work, you can easily have them redone locally to you for a few bucks.

Would we "venture out far for them?" What, do we have to drive to you and pick them up? Are they too heavy to ship?

Shipping is only around $20 fully insured to most locations in the USA

PM me to be the first on your block to own a set.
