General Civic Talk - center caps

hey guys...

im buying some rims for my car that do not come with center caps and the person who i am buying them from doesnt know the name of the brand my question to you is (might be a dumb question) are all center caps univeral fitting? can i just pop four "h" honda caps in there

I think they're universal, but I'm not 100% sure. Have you considered not using centercaps at all? I took my caps off last June, and I haven't regretted it at all; IMO, it makes the wheels look a lot more aggressive (and it gives the car more of that bare-bones, just the essentials look that everyone loves :D ).

my Rota GT3s can use the accord centercaps with the sweet H on them, so just drive around and jack them off some accord and paint them to match the rim!!

yeah i guess not using centercaps might be nice...and no im not going to "jack" someones center caps hahahaha

what is the measurements on the rims where the center caps go because they are so many different sizes [&:] Let me know I have 4 Honda center caps i think they measure about 2 1/4 but i will re- measure it again if you are interested on them tanks. :D.I think rims look ugly with out center caps [:'(]

I'm getting some Accord center caps for my new Rotas... in black and red. w00t.

What's the size of the hole on yours?

I think it depends on wheel style (and size, too). I've seen wheels that look horrible without center caps, and I've seen ones that look good without 'em. Personally, I think my 17" skinny-spoked wheels look good without them.

No, TheChamp.

well i ended up not getting the rims...i was going to but i couldnt agree with the person on a price theywere some cheap rims cause they needed to be repainted i was going to use the DIY on wheel makeover to repaint and come out with some decent cheap rims...the seller wanted 150 for the rims and tires i didnt want the tires cause i just bought four new ones less than 3 weeks back so i said i would pay 75...they wouldnt take any less than 100

shame too they are about 5 mins away

thanks to all who responded

Actually, the center caps are not the same from rim to rim. My 13" VX rims are a PITA to find matching center caps for - I have only two of them. I snagged a pair from an eBay sellers, and they are too big for the VX rims, even though they are identical in every other way.

The big thing to look for is the diameter of the tabs on the back of the cap. If they don't fit perfectly, they'll either break and fall off, or fit loosely and fall off after the first good bump.

My solution so far is to move them both to the same side. That way if someone sees the car from the left side, they see caps. From the right side, no caps. This is temporary until I jam on some new rims hopefully later this year.
