Could be messy, I don't think you can. I'll take a look in the morning and see if it is possible and report back

A few years back I had some wheel on my Grand. The wheels where chrome but the center cap was a plastic chrome that chipped up. The manager at discount tire was able to get me new center caps that fit the wheels. And luckily for me he was able to get some that had the jeep logo on them. So I would call some tire shops and see what you can find. Maybe eBay.

I have the same issue with the KMC Monsters. I really don't like the plastic caps either. I just rattle-canned the centers and called it a day for now. Interested to see if anyone has another option. Here is mine with the caps:

I really like these rims as well and can only say, they don't look quite that good without the chrom star. Is it a bit "bling" YES, but they are still attention grabbers.

I am torn on picking up a set soon. Just have to plan the lift before hand.
