What happened to them? Or do you just not like them?

I sanded and painted my stock ones gloss black. I am very happy with how they came out.

I got some Gorillaz centercaps from Summit, they were the same bore as the Cragar ones without the Cragar logo.

I like them.

Rusted bad after one season on the Jeep. Want to find ones that are maybe stainless steel, or maybe black.

Use the small butter containers and paint them whatever color, cheap, disposable and they seem to do the minimal task they are intended to do.

That's what I did, too.





I almost painted them white, but changed my mind at the last minute. I might fill in the Jeep logo in white, but I think they look decent, and saved me $40 that they wanted for the center caps.

i personally run the silver cragar wheel caps but why don't you just scuff them and paint them black

that's what i will do when i get sick of knocking off the pitting that occurs over time.

How are these held on? Are they just pinched between the wheel and the lug nut?
