Volk SE37K Center Caps (bronze) - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

mit_peid · 05-16-2013, 12:14 PM

I got a decent deal on a set of older Volk SE37Ks in bronze 18x7.5 +48, but they didn't come with center caps. Also just recently bought a set of H&R DRM spacers (20mm/30mm) to make up for the conservative +48 offset on the wheels and also some Eibach Pro-Kit springs to reduce the off-roading look, and now the costs are beginning to add up. I feel I will probably want center caps for the wheels at some point, but don't want to pay $50-66 a piece (for the new real ones below) cause I'm trying to be a cheap ass with this finishing touch. Does anybody know if anyone makes imitation center caps for these wheels (or can fabricate them for cheap)?

I went to the end of the internet and back and couldn't find these used nor replicas. Bump?

I'm having similar problems with my Work wheels, I assumed that the Scion center caps would fit, but they're not even close. I also searched the whole internet looking for a cheap replacement.

I just want black or at least paintable, I don't even like the Work ones so I'm sure as hell not going to drop $50/piece on them.

I'm considering just using some tin can lids, painting them bronze, and forming them into where the center caps would go. I think this would look sic.

Please don't. Contact one of the many vendors on this site that gets Volks from Mackin and see what they can do for you. Don't ruin a great set of vintage Volks with some tin can lids.

Have you tried varrstoen caps? Just measure the inside diameter and buy some flat caps from them. I'll check one of my rays wheels and maybe they have the same hole diameter. I have tons of plastic generic caps.

No, but thanks I'll look into them. My friend had some old school "Volk" TE37 caps that almost fits, but this is one case where almost just isn't good enough. Seems like fitment of Volk caps have small nuances that make fit very specific to each style. I'm not sure if my tools are exact enough to get the exact measurement of the diameter of the SE37K center caps.

I know the Volk GT and TE series caps generally come with different size O rings to help with fit.

Take a piece of cardboad and cut it just enough where it fits the hole, measure how wide it is and you'll have a ballpark of how many mm you need the inside diameter to be. There are tons of caps on ebay too.

Did some testing on some random Prodrive wheels ( rays ) and these fit but i'm not sure your wheels have the same diameter. Btw, prodrive uses 0-ring caps but clip type caps also work.
