Truthfully: The bottom line is that these will be for sale as soon as our caps come back from plating. I spoke with the girl there this morning about when I should expect them. I need to get pictures so we can list them on the site. That is all we are waiting for.
Damn suppliers, lol. Good to hear you guys worked it out Roger....cant wait to see them!

Not yet. To be honest we are so busy "at this time", I could not accurately even tell you when we would have it complete. And that item would require some time with fixturing, and programming.
We have a huge list of items already on "the wish list" and we are getting ready to head into the fall sales. We have been working on a lot of new parts this entire year with some new ones coming out later today.
So we will probably take a break on new things, and simply just make parts for a little while. Otherwise we could fall behind on orders, and I cannot let that happen.
Things like making these caps wil not be a problem because all of the pre-work has been done already.

Thanks, Roger

Brent,

I know you we included on some of the emails with the plating company.
Looks like they have made adjusments.

Damn I keep hoping every time that I see this page come up that there will be a set of center caps for us all to view. I have been wanting these since the day I got my wheels from oewheels and to no avail. Well hopefully some day they will get done so I can get rid of the corvetter centers that don't even match the finish of the wheel.

Send me pictures of your pieces again, so I can see if we can modify what you have without needing to remake them.
would definitely be quicker, and easier. Send them to sales@emblempros.com

Thanks, Roger

Jogn,

We have them on our list of things to do.
I cant promise an actual date yet, but we have definitely discussed it here more than one time. Right now we are focusing on the sills, the black stainless we just released, and the chrome caps.

Thanks, Roger

Ok:
Here they are from the plating company.
Regular chrome, and black chrome. I am using 5th gen caps for the black chrome pictures so you can see how they look.
These are not etched yet, and pictures will be posted very damn soon with the etching on them.
I need to get the pricing straight for the chrome work, and we will be listing these.

















Bottom side shows the real deal: Check the cap thickness out!






Precision duplicated every time.





Stay tuned........... Things happening quick now!

Thanks, Roger

Hey Roger,

I know I was one of the advocates to get the center caps made for OEWheels wheels. Any chance that is still in the works? I still have 5 center caps from them. I sent you pictures awhile back, not sure if you need new ones, or if you want one sent to you to mess around with to get measurements or whatever. Or if you find a way to just modify the originals with like a machined face you could send it back and I could get pictures up to show everyone else what they'd look like on actual OEWheels machined wheels.

Let me know!

Erik
