Keep pushing and show them all of the increased business you'd get if you had the machined center caps

Ya honestly I think you guys lose business on centercaps alone. You make a great product for our cars at a great price but if I wanted machined wheels I wouldnt be able to purchase with the chrome cap, ruins the feel of a nice wheel. The vette flags is a whole different story. One big factor in why I never committed to C5 DD's after loving them since a member on here posted what he bought on ebay before you were sponsors.

Blank machined center caps Scott. C'mon man! You can get it done! All of the other wheels have the matching center caps, why not the machined ones?

What's the reasoning Scott? Just curious seeing as how all of the other wheels have the matching center cap except the machined. There's a high enough demand for them, just curious as to why you guys can't make them.

the reason why we dont make that cap is because to do it right you would put a thin piece of aluminum over the cap which would give you the machined look and it just cost to much to do.

We are also redesigning all of our corvette caps and they will have our own design on them and we will also have blank caps sometime this year.

Yeah!! Having blank caps for my ZR1s would be the best thing that has happened to me since my wife got a hysterectomy.

As cheap as the wheels are already, I'd pay the extra money to have the machined cap as I'm sure others would as well. It's pretty much the whole reason I haven't put money down to get a set of the machined finish, it really cheapens the overall look IMO.

Agreed. It couldn't be that much more expensive per set of wheels I wouldn't think.

The front are 17 x 9.5 with 255/45/17 g-force sport. The rear is only lowered with the heater hose mod, for clearance just a bfh to a few spots and the adj panhard bar.
