cheap black or colored centercaps for aftermarket wheels

T odd's J eep · 08-23-2004, 09:16 PM

Well heres the writeup.

Take 4 margerine or butter containers you have lying around your house and they will fit in the wheels.

1. Trim the lip that the lid snaps to off but leave the other smaller one on there.

2. Clean
3. Paint with Krylon Fusion Paint

4. Let Dry for a few days

5. Put them in and they look great and they dont rust and are very cheap to replace, I made a few extras just in case.

thats damn creative! and looks pretty good
but how are they attached? wont they get ripped off when your tires are submerged and spinning in mud or somethin?

just like a normal centercap pushed through the back. theres a small lip and they fit pretty tight. i havent tested them offroad yet cuz my license is suspended but only 15 days left for that. im sure if u pull on them hard enough they will come out but for free ill repace it with the 2 extra i made.

well hey! its like the walmart fog light mod but for center caps!!!

if the lights goto hell, just buy another SET for 20 bux...
if a center cap gets ripped off ...just use your extra!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE ITS NOT CENTER CAPS!

Hold crap...that is the most creative and ghetto but sweet thing ever. If I didn't already have fancy centercaps I would do that.

sicknasty · 04-09-2007, 11:39 PM

ha ha thats awesome!! Great idea!! reminds me of my father's idea when i was kid, he used panty hose container caps (the siler bullet shapped ones) for center caps on his karmen ghia.

T odd's J eep that is one of the best looking jeeps I have ever seen! My rig is like the exact same as yours except 31 inch tires. I love the way it looks without the "WRANGLER" and "JEEP" stickers, I thought of doing that before. Brilliant idea on the caps! Are those the monotube shocks or the twins with black shock boots?

this is a awesome idea but i have tried 2 different brands and niehter of them work. i even tried the country crock 1 lb that i have heard of and the tub is a tad bit too big for the hole. oh well... back to the drawing board.
