Center Caps
 
Does anyone know where I can obtain some center caps that will fit the 19" Rays that are stock on the Sports Package?

found this:

ORNAMENT-DISC WHEEL - 370Z (Z34) 2009+ :: Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com

don't know if it's the same as the sport cap though. i believe this one is for the base wheels.

Thanks Vipor, but I want to get rid of the Nissan emblem from the center caps.

ook, gonna sand em down or whatever I assume?

I was hoping to find some aftermarket or some other Rays 'blank' center caps to avoid having to sand them / mod those. I would rather have a blank slate to work with to possibly powder-coat or add a Z to them.

When I got my wheels powder coated they had left over paint from the job which I am going to use on the centercaps. If you get black caps then powder coat the wheels a dark gray or black there may be difference in value or hue causing thing cap to stick out oddly. So if you are going to get them powder coated I would just ask for the extra paint to deal with the caps.

So no one can recommend an aftermarket / replacement Center Caps for our 19" Volks? I would like to get rid of the Nissan Center Caps and possibly put on some Volk Center Caps, but am unsure if the plain flat ones will fit. Anyone have experience with this?

Problem is that they are plastic so they can't be powder coated. I really hope that painting them will not look too awful. In addition, I am having a tough time finding black lugz that will fit the 19" stock Rays.

right, there is no liquid paint left over after powdercoating, as none is used. Tip, I think if you go to a good body shop, they should be able to get you something real close. My shop did mine and matched the gloss level exact.

Thanks Mike. Looks like that is what I will have to do. I might as well grind down that Nissan emblem first .. man these center caps are just UGLY.... grrr
