anyone know differences in center cap sizes for Epsilon wheels? my 2.75" center caps aren't fitting my 15" centers. perhaps the previous painter painted it too thick and that's not allowing my center caps to fit through. I know there are 3" diameter center caps probably for BMW epsilons.

yes those caps look like they will fit since it seams that they are a smaller version exposing more of the "meat" around the cap. so far i have been seeing caps that do not expose as much material thus thinking that the caps i have are for a different version of centers with bigger diameter center caps like shown.
another set that i have for the 5 lug epsilons are 3" and longer too.

Guys is it just me or is the Panasport look getting old? I jsut hate when everyone modifies their car in the same way (Civic clear tail lights for example). After a while, the "modification" is the norm so if you want to be different, you simply place your stock parts on. Am I the only one to feel this way?
Also, every Mini and Miata has them which only adds to their cuteness. I think our cars look better "bad" than cute. I almost bought them, till I found this thread and realized everyone had them. Somone even posed pics of them on a Miata...

Couple of reasons for the abundance of "Panasports". a) Clones, lots and lots of clones. I can think of three different wheel manufacturers who make clones of the actual Panasport. b) They are one of the few period correct wheels still available new. c) They are one of the few wheels available new that fit our cars. d) As a performance wheel even back in the day they where readily common and one of a few readily available.

nah, just like the epsilons, panasports will always be one of the "want to have" rims. It will give you the classic yet not too flashy like the newer style rims. you can bolt-up a newer rims to a SA/FB and old school but most of the time but there is no guaranty that it will match the car.
Enkies and rikens rims falls into the "honda civic" category of the 80s. they were affordable so you will find them everywhere. in fact, you can buy them from pep-boys or corner tire shops and there is no need for a "special order."
