Default Want different center caps

Hi there,

I've had these wheels on my 07 since it was essentially new. I'd like to go with a lower profile center cap. I've see some of the pop in plastic jeep ones, like picture, but wanted to know if anyone else had experience with something else. These are Ultra wheels.

Thanks!

Painted my with Plasti-Dip and they look good, very cheap way to do it. If you change your mind easy to put back to stock.

The cap sizes are usually all different and mount differently. You'd need to find caps that work with your wheels (if there are any). Try the manufacturer, they may have some options.

I dont think steel wheels will accept any pop in caps. The mounting surface is just too thin and the hub flange will likely get in the way. Id recommend just taking the caps off completely and hitting the hubs with some black paint.

ditch the center caps altogether. Like was said in the other post just hit the end of the axle with plastidip.

Yep, I should check with the manufacturer. If that doesn't work out will most likely go the no cap route, thanks
