Wheel question
I'm putting together a car right now, sort of an Atom clone. And I'm using the wheels off of a C5 Corvette. I love the wheels, but I'd like to replace the center cap with something that doesn't have the corvette logo. Don't get me wrong, I love the Corvette, but having the corvette logo on a car that isn't a Corvette is just wrong in my opinion.
Do you guys know if there are any aftermarket center caps for the C5 wheels without the Corvette logo on them? I've searched, but have had no luck so far.

When I had the stock polished thin spokes on my car I bought some plain chrome center caps on ebay for abound $40, but it looks like you've got the painted thin spokes. I don't know what kind of center caps you would want for those but try ebay. BTW what kind of power plant do you plan on using for that thing?

Several vendors sell plain center caps. Ecklers, Mid-America, Corvette Garage, etc. should have them.

Thanks guys! I found a couple that I think will work. They are gray, so the chrome caps won't work. Are the gray rims off of the Z06?
The engine I'm using is the Honda K20A. It comes stock at 220 hp but I hope to add some to that. Not sure yet if I'm going with a supercharger or not. With a car that weighs less than 1200 lbs. I'm not sure I need that much power.

The "gray" wheels (thin spokes) were the standard wheel on 2000-2004, the polished aluminum wheels (many people mistake them for chrome) were optional ($1200 extra on my 04). C5 ZO6 wheels were a completely different wheel.
