The center caps on my stock 2001 CLS wheels have bubbled and faded. I was looking for replacements and wondered if there are other options that are a good match to the powdercoat color besides the OEM?

Anyone have any luck with other Acura make, model, or year center caps? Pictures?

I would go with the centercaps from the RL. Here is a pic.


Not the best pic and not a oem wheel but gives you the idea. It is painted silver with the raised chrome A.

Any idea about where to get the "A" stickers online? My quick search wasn't producing results.

I used these guys in the link below. I had mine made white and I forgot the size offhand, just measure yours before you order to confirm.

the ones with the actual emblem on them will run you ~$25 a piece

So...despite all the great responses, I am just now getting around to replacing my Center Caps. I found these on Ebay and wanted to make sure they would fit. I have seen people with varying measurements for the center caps and I don't have mine in front of me to measure for myself.

I have a 2001 CL-S with OEM wheels seen here:

Thanks for your help.

I dont think those in the eBay auction are OEM. The part number listed doesnt show up in any Honda/Acura catalog.

I am okay with non-OEM (though it does say OEM in the listing) if it fits. Any idea if it will fit?

Couldnt tell you.

This is a shameless plug, but I have a set of OEM center caps, one set with a chrome (A) and another set off the 3rd gen TL-S with a black painted (A).

PM if you are interested. Since you're in NoVa, Im going to a meet this Sunday in Manassas so I can bring them with me.
