Chrome center caps?

[kevinpuri]

I am gettign my OEM rims chrome plated and was wondering where do u get chrome center caps from? I have bough normal silver ones from the dealership but I do not think they had chrome ones.

Any help would be great!!

Thankyou[:)][:)][:)][:)]

I wrote this text below to another forum member last month, but never heard if these guys were able to come through for him or not. I still haven't purchased from them yet, but I'm closer to doing so now


If you haven't already, check these guys out: http://www.performanceproducts.com

Specifically, for your center cap query, look here:

I haven't purchased anything from them yet, but I've read elsewhere on this forum that they're decent. I'm saving up to purchase a couple of items for our W140 from them.

For what it's worth...

The blue logo centre cap a la SLK is my favourite. I have them on my S420.

Finish the look with some air valve caps as well. BUT BEWARE!!! The OEMs you get from the dealership, like the ones I have are good for show alone. They have a poor seal and don't help in retaining leaks. I have not been losing any air, so no problem.

yes i have to agree. They are very very nice.
Where did you get the emblem on your steering wheel?, or did you just use a center cap?:



and the V8 emblem on the side of your car?

The steering wheel emblem is similar to the one on the centrecap, but it is plastic. For safety reasons, I have removed it from the steering wheel to the armrest. It was gotten for me by a friend from Malaysia or Thailand. It is fake, but everybit as good in quality as the OEM on the centrecap. Price $10.

The V8 logo came from, errrr, a Lexus LX470. It's the best V8 logo I could find with a slight Italic and bold appearance. Price $26 each, you'll need 2.
