Aftermarket Efini Center Caps?

Hi,
I have been searching a lot already, without any success.​​ Are aftermarket Efini wheel Center caps available somewhere? I am looking for black/Chrome ones similar to the efini hood emblem.

Regards,
Ica

I don't think I've ever seen them. The stock ones were just molded silver plastic.

There may be black caps for the stock black wheels for the Bathhurst models. (Ask me how I know......).


(Mazda may actually call them gun-metal grey metallic)



Maybe also Titanium for the Spirit R wheels.

I have seen folk get aftermarket flat center caps then put sticker on them, one of my FD came with a bunch of these caps and stickers as the PO wanted to put them on his aftermarket wheels.

Good quality stickers would be suitable too. Do you have a source?

I bet those OEM black Center Caps are not available anymore.

I'm sure they are just the stock caps painted black. Hell, the stock caps are black plastic painted silver - that's a common problem to see the paint flaking off on OEM center caps.

I think there are vendors on Ebay that may have center cap stickers. If you could find one you like, you could take a stock center cap, sand it flat (get rid of the stock raised emblem) and put on the sticker. Voila.

I think there are shops that make those kinds of emblems too.

Small 3D printers can make what you want.

Seems like you're about to spend some money anyways.

There is a China site that has all kinds of alternatives including smooth blanks and raised relieve replicas with adhesive backs.

They have versions for all makes and many Mazda models.

Try googling or ebay.

A, the stock Mazda ones are available, https://www.amayama.com/en/part/mazda/f10037191a

B. the pearl tea cup is the same size as the center cap land on a Rota wheel, so it actually clicks in there.
