It's a Harbor freight bench top lathe that I converted to CNC

Creativity is what keeps the DSM's rolling. What size are your rims and would you make more center caps? Like I said, I don't have any center caps and I would rather give my money to a tuner.
 
I decided to finally do something about the lack of center caps on my wheels.

I cut these on my CNC lathe from aluminum.

I've got some inserts coming for the center relief, but this how they turned out.


With all due respect, I think it would look better without center caps. Volk TE37's are some of the strongest and lightest wheels out there... center caps are just excess weight. :p

Besides, it just looks so much more hardcore and badass without caps.

Just one man's opinion though.. very nice work on the DIY caps none-the-less.

Yeah but just wait until that nut starts rusting... it's not fun to get off.
 
Added the inserts, now to figure out which (if any) to actually use.

Since they're just vinyl, virtually any combination is possible.
