Center cap modification
^They gota stop putting the vette flag on them too. I didnt mind it running C5 Z06 on my old Camaro, but Id feel like a tool having a vette logo on my Pontiac. Blank caps are the way to go.
I already contacted that guy, he only made a single set for his car & isnt lookin to make anymore. He also had some changes to them he wanted to make if he did ever make anymore. And those are on polished wheels, not machined. You can find stock caps to match the polished no problem, its the machined that proving to be a bitch to match.
I know theyre on polished wheels and theyre not machined but thanks for trying
to correct me . I forgot they were polished until i dug the thread up . I know the
machined is a bitch to match trust me
Nope. My cap is done. Like I said. Probably be a closer silver without the black coat and just do straight silver. The scuff with 220 grit to get the machined marks then clear over that. After that dries wetland with 1000 grit them do one final clear cost. That might work better than what I did seeing as how mine came out a little mire pewter compared to the wheel, which I think is because of the black base coat...

Sweet.
I still cant find a anwser to this: Are 2006-2009 Corvette center caps interchangeable with the C5 style wheels, they sure seem to be by lookin at them.
Here is why, this is the closest finish I could find to the OE wheels in all my searching, but they are from a 2006-2009 Z06 wheel.
Here is the back side if anyone can compare to a C5, they looked identical to me just lookin at pics.

THESE WILL NOT WORK WITH OEWHEELS C5 DD. Believe me, ive tried and wasted money. Same goes for the 35th anniversary SS caps. They look similar but when you have them side by side you will notice they are diffent. the difference is the c5 caps are concaved slightly. the 06-09 vette ones are domed. the mounting tabs will not reach the rim since the domed affect make the walls (the part that is closest to where the lugs go) higher.

This sounds like a job for emblempros to me too. They could make some really sick centers, custom high quality. Forget that decal junk imo.
anyone figure anything out for these yet?

im wanting to see something done with what was said by the OP. how about cutting out the center and fitting the original center caps in.
or what about filling in the corvette logo....then going to a decal place and have them make a WS6 cap sticker....
but im also seeing the other part of this thread where they dont make a brushed cap...ghey...
