^ If you don't like them I may be interested in buying them I was debating on those for a while, but I didn't have the cash since I just bought the car.

well, yes you can put center caps on if that's what you're asking.
asking for a photoshop with them on I'm no good at.
somebody else would need to help you out there.
well congrats on buying them, they are a killer rim!!
strange size and offsets for the TSX, and a staggered setup, but
obviously still runable. please of course post pics of them on the car.
I'm curious to see their fit on a lowered car.

those are very solid center caps.
volk has some real cheap and real crappy center caps.
but those aren't one of them.
I had those for a while, was considering them on the le37t's,
but decided to go with the cheap and correct le ones instead.
these ones are very solid and not flimsy at all.

one thing to note though.
something I didn't notice until they were in my hands:
these center caps are very big and very tall.
the le ones and many others are short, only a 1/4" or so tall,
but these ones are quite tall, like 3/4".
there are two GT centercaps I believe, the short and the tall ones.
looks like that picture is of the tall ones, the ones I used to have.
I'm thinking the shorter GT ones have a darker rim where it says
"Volk Racing Engineering," but I haven't looked at center caps in a while
so I'm not too sure off hand.

mmstsx, I got a question for you, I'm dropped on tein, and I've noticed that my rear tires are diagonaled inward towards the car a little. Since I'm getting these new wheels, should i purchased an Ingalls rear camber kit?

yes.
I would strongly suggest it.
they are very sturdy, well made, hold up well, are easily adjustable,
allow both camber and toe adjustment for a wide range of setups,
and they give you the peace of mind knowing you can set your camber
at whatever angle you want to.
I personally run within oem specs, it is because I run a very soft and sticky
dedicated summer tire year round and negative camber would chew them
up in absolutely no time. without my ingalls kit I couldn't do that. I think
it's certainly worth the money.
J's racing just this year put out one too for the super ballers out there.

Definitely pick up the Ingalls RCK. I've had mine for a couple of years with no issues at all, any competent alignment shop will know how to use it to dial your camber and toe in. Make sure you specify that you want ZERO toe.

^correct.
you don't adjust them, an alignment shop does that.
you just install them, as close to the OEM size as possible.
then immediately take the car in for an alignment.

hmmmm....
for your setup... I guess I personally would run black.
or maybe gunmetal, lol.
depends on your calipers, center caps, car color, etc.
and both will go well with what you are running.
but yeah, I would go black myself. no real reason though.
just to give a touch of contrast.
