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.

thumbs up on that!!!!!
u can get an 05 06 RSX-S center cap and the A is inset so u can paint the inside any color after matching it to ur wheels.

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.

LS mesh center caps are about $40 each. I wanted to get some for a project but im not made of money
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 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?Originally Posted by civicdrivr

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.
