SSR Rims -- any cap choices?
I have SSR's on my Viper, but I'm not happy with the look of the caps. I had them off for a while, but now have them on to give the wheel a more finished look.
Has anyone done anything to their caps? The "SSR" logo on them just doesn't look right on a Viper to me. I was thinking of having someone CNC a Sneaky Pete on them or something, just don't know who could do it...  I know I'm not the only one who doesn't like the caps, anyone have an alternative? |

Re: SSR Rims -- any cap choices?
Someone offers a set of CNC machined centercaps that were designed for the OEM 18 inch wheel. I originally considered buying a set however the shop that painted my wheels also painted my centercaps and filled in around the "SSR" logo. I like the way it looks now and after noticing just how many sneaky pete logo's the car has on it and in it, I left it alone.
The nice thing about the center caps I was thinking about using is that the have a backing plate that attach's from the inside. So you would not have to worry about using glue and more importantly someone prying them off to steal them. |

It does suck though. Pretty bad design really. I finally had to resort to using silicone gasket sealer to keep the thing in there! I looked around for an alternate too, but there's nothing that I ever ran across that'd fit. It's a pretty unique size/shape. |

Re: SSR Rims -- any cap choices?
Yeah I read some posts in other car forums about SSR caps. They all say take them off if you do any road course/ tracking.
I guess for the cost of the wheel, we can't complain too much... |

Re: SSR Rims -- any cap choices?
My caps are very difficult to come off and put back on.

Re: SSR Rims -- any cap choices?
VERY difficult to get off and on. Unless you've heated them at the track. Then, they fall off.
Ask me how I know...
