Default CCW 505 Question

For those of you with my favorite (and soon to be purchased) wheels, does the center cap have the C5 logo or is orderin a center cap with a C5 logo even an option?

If no, do they offer a blank center cap that can have a 3D Cyberdine C5 logo added? I think I've seen different center caps, some that are black with CCW and some that look like they have CCW engraved.

Thanks!

The old, plastic caps are no longer sold with these AFAIK. I had those and had to order the newer billet caps to get them. They come standard with the CCW logo engraved or you can have them engrave something different. Not sure if they charge an extra fee for a custom-engraving because I ordered mine bare.

Thanks! Those look great. Do you know the diamater of the center cap? Hate to be a pain, I just want to figure out my options if I order plain and install a logo or perhaps get the plain cap engraved with the C5 logo.

That's what I'm thinking as well. Any close up shots?

Are the slots in your rotors the wrong way or am I having a brain fart?

They are correct. Go on Baer's website and read about proper slot orientation/function.

Slot direction doesn't matter, as it's the direction of the vanes that must be correct. Different manufacturers will have the slots facing different ways.

I ordered the blank caps with my wheels. Not a fan at all of logos on my wheels. CF member Chuck1026 did exactly what your looking for. Use the link below to lookup some of his old posts and you will see some pictures. Or message him.

Very true !

The internal vanes MUST draw air from the center outwards..... not draw air inwards towards the hub.
