Kev98....The center caps that you have are the ones that I originally thought I was getting....And the ones that they're trying to work up a set of now.

I got these caps that are almost "square" looking. They're approximately 3" in diameter, same as the centerbore, and 1" tall, rounded at the edge. They look like sometning you'd see on a truck, not a car.

In fact, after my "discussion" with Lynn at Intro, they took the website down for "maintenance" this past weekend, and the images of the "Endless" series of wheels now show the first set of center caps I got, the ones that came with the wheels.

Since Intro's center caps are quite substantial, and since they have a lot of impact on how the wheels look, I would think they should offer the buyer a choice of caps, but that's just my $0.02 worth....

Intro makes awsome, high-quality wheels, BUT they are HEAVY and a BIOTCH to clean. a buddy of mine has twisted vista II 5's on his '68 pickup....they look killer cleaned up, but if you look at them crooked, they haze over and lose their shine. God forbid you drive down a dirt road with them......

One of my number one concerns with an aftermarket wheel is weight. Just like so many on this board, if you're concerned about every single rwhp, you wouldn't bolt on a steel/iron flywheel. Most wheel companies won't tell you what they weigh. I've called several and been quoted "around 26 pounds". IMHO, it had better be as light if not lighter than a stock 17" wheel.
