DIY RPF1 center caps!
5 Attachment(s)
I gave the DIY route a shot and I must say I like them a lot more than actual center caps you can buy. I spent less than $15 on the whole thing. Everything was purchased at lowes and took maybe a half hour max.
I just roughed up the cap with some scotch brite, and painted them with rustoleum silver metallic wheel paint an viola! I saw this on some other forums not on this one so I figured I would spread the word! |
Looks good!
I went with the acura center caps. Are these going on a FC? if so, you might have issues with the dust cap in the front. |
Yeah it's going on an fc. We'll see how it goes I should be getting my new tires this week and I'll get them all mounted up.
|
This is just the idea I needed since mine are missing centercaps! Thanks!
|
Did you ever get these installed? I just looked at mine and the front has a cap that sticks out...?
|
Yeah I tried and they don't work on the front with the dust cap there. I haven't come up with any other ideas though besides getting the actual enkei caps.

My brother and I cut up a few beer cans and inserted them into his rpf1s from behind. Turned out great and it might give you the clearance you need if you cut them to protrude a bit.
Costs 5 cents and you get to drink 4 beers. http://imgur.com/B4jlwbf Edit: attaching image was to small so here's a link. |
The beer can idea is genius! How did you attach them?
|
We flaired the bottom and wedged the flair between the wheel and hub. So they're just held in by friction. I can draw a diagram if my description doesn't make sense.
|
home depot idea, maybe. top of beer can, r u serious? LoL
|
If you pull the tab,does the wheel bearing grease flow out?...lol!
AH!..I get it now!..because the engine is called a KEG! There is a Draft Tap shifter somewhere that will go with all of this too! (boost gauge measures how much beer is left!) |
Haters gonna hate.
It's best not to pull the tab since you want them to keep your hubs dry and dirt free. Poke a couple holes in the bottom and chug! |
