Default customized ZR-1 wheels

well, I have been planning on custom making my own center caps for my powdercoated ZR1 wheels I have on my 02 WS6. With more and more people purchasing these I had to do something to set mine apart. I decided to create a chrome centercap to replace my black GRAND SPORT centers that really didn't go with my car. I put black transam logos on the chrome which I think pulls everything together on the car...i.e. polished lip, chrome lugs, chrome tips, etc.Let me know what you guys think.....

Looks good
How tough were they to make, and would you consider making more?

I wouldnt mind making more but the chrome style like I created I'd like to keep original for a while. I might also make sets of black caps with chrome birds and see how those turn out.....I will post when complete....if I did create them they wouldn't be cheap, I would have to say around 100.00 a set, materials are pretty expensive.....

Looks good. You could have used the factory 98-01 black cap that said WS6 too.

Just buy plain chrome caps from SLP and throw some right-sized bird logos on em. Caps are like $50 a set and decals shouldn't be more than a couple bucks each. Hell, E-bay has some chrome plastic caps with bowties on em for like $20 buy it now price. Strip off the painted bowtie and put on the bird logo and they'll be even cheaper. The plastics are domed and not flat though. I got a set going on my white 16" ZR1 wheels for drag tires Friday.
