Trouble with TSW
I am trying to get a new set of TSW center caps so I can get the new black corvette center caps and epoxy them on. I have 18/19 TSW Nurninburgring wheels. So the part number is C-C43-1. Does anyone know if any of the other TSWs are the same size cause I cant find these ..dont care what they look like I only want the back part of it anyway

I did the "epoxy the OEM center cap on the TSW center cap" and regret doing it. The chrome edge of the TSW center cap stands out too much when viewed from the top or sides and it looks cheap. I am looking for a replacement solution. You can buy blank center caps of different diameters on eBay. There is an outfit that C7 Jake used to create custom center cap logos (sorry I don't have the address handy).
Maybe we can get the dimensions down on this thread for the center cap prongs and get a good image for the logo. I don't want to use a photo for the logo as any glare would show on the logo.

we all have diff opins, I don't think the epoxy method looks cheap, and why I came up with it...if you need to order stock TSW caps, you can order them at an auth TSW dealer - there are few forum vendors here.

Chrome to chrome looks better, but the black "Stingray" center cap is brushed aluminum around the outer edge. It's the chrome to brushed aluminum interface that stands out and does not look very good.

Where can I buy this 'custom inserts'? Do you know the part number of "Interlago" center cap? I'm interested in them.
I have 18/19 setup on my C6 and one cap popped off, so I've been looking on ebay and other places for replacement - Some are asking $60 for a cap that says "Petrol"...
It happened before and I got one on ebay for $25.
If anyone is selling the TSW caps, I'm also interested in them as well. Thanks!

I found them on fleabay, as the wife really wanted them for her car. They worked out great, and don't look bad at all - she's very happy with the results, and unless you take a close look you wouldn't give it a second thought. Some folks are just extremely **** retentive.
Thanks Glen for forging the way.

They are only good for flat surfaces.
In addition, they look really cheap. They are vinyl plastic.
I bought a set for my Jaguar XKR and would not work due to the convex center cap.
Even though they are priced low, they are not worth the money.
