Cheap alternative for center caps

**madmanshima** · 01-17-2011 06:53 PM

Not sure if this has been discussed before but. I recently bought rota slips with no centercaps and I was looking for honda centercaps but those things are kinda expensive. So I read a thread on H-T and found these (2" knock out seals) that you can get from home depot for $1.05 per piece and I ordered honda emblems from ebay for $1.30. LMK what you think. I sanded them, applied adhesion promoter and gloss black paint.

looks 100% better then holes.... I would almost leave them the way they are without H logos...

Ya they do look clean, I'll put one on and see if I like it.

If they ever seem loose , just bend the tabs out a little bit more. Good idea you had there.

Which section at Lowes/HomeDepot carries these knock out seals?

(Home Depot) it would be in the Electrical section. These are meant for conduit pipe.

I was expecting to see something utterly atrocious. However, this is definitely not the worst idea in the world. Good find and good job OP.

I agree. Very nice alternative to no caps or the cheap/junky looking caps that come on many aftermarket wheels these days.

Not for the conduit, they go in open knock outs on junction boxes

I did the same thing with my old ROH ZR6 wheels I picked up used for my fox mustang.
Problem solved for around $6 bucks!
