Custom center caps

I have been running w/o center caps on my TSW wheels. I plastidipped the TSW caps, but it looks kinda cheap. The TSW center caps appear to be glued onto the center caps.

I've noticed that a lot of BMWs with aftermarket wheels have BMW center caps, making them look like nice stock wheels. You can get really nice BMW/Audi/Mercedes center caps for most wheels, but I couldn't find any for Subaru. There are the eBay "STI" logos, but a little too "in your face" and lacking in authenticity.

Instead, I ordered some 3d center wheel cap covers with the Subaru logo on carbon background. Hopefully doesn't look too cheap, I just don't like the TSW logo on the center cap. Total w/ shipping about $14.

I was looking for nice metal ones, but they don't seem to exist for Subaru.

They look okay... Wouldn't recommend buying from this website, took almost a month and quality was "meh." I liked it more without center caps.

Thinking of spray tinting the emblems or redo with carbon fiber film.

I found some metallic custom center caps here if you are still interested. They look great but the price is corresponding.

Surprisingly, these have held up well. I get a lot of compliments on the wheels because they appear OEM.

How cool are the radioactive caps, right? I like that crazy stuff.
BRZranger/ your cc's look very nice too.
