The wheel picture in that article looks very similar to my wheel picture in my post:

GM does offer OEM carbon center caps. I ordered them for my C7 that was built this May. I got them to go with my carbon dash and roof. I like them but I like yours better. They look great!

Thanks for the inspiration!


How did you black out the chrome?

The cool thing is 3m makes film in all sorts of colors.

Surprised no one has done the center caps in burnt orange, yellow or red yet.

I traced the outline of the chrome ring onto the backing and cut it out. Made an almost perfect fit with very little trimming needed.
