Centre caps to suit Rota wheels

Postby SegR » Tue Jun 05, 2012 7:44 pm

Can anyone recommend a source of centre caps to suit Rota wheels? (steel grey GR-A)

The Rota caps don't do it for me... some dark Subaru ones which fit would be nice. (not keen on STI ones, as I'm not a fan of misrepresenting what I have... but they'd probably still be better than the Rota ones.)

Just get some eBay stickers (sellers can make you anything you want in just about any colour you want) and put them over the top of the Rota caps. That's what I did with mine. No-one notices they're stickers until I point it out to them.

How well do they hold up against the weather and washing?

Three months on and not a single problem so far.

This sticker is two-layer vinyl (pink on black, no clear on top), heavily pressed. This kind of vinyl has a 5-7 year life span before you'd see any degradation or fading and is the same stuff used to wrap rally cars and the like. It's quite thin, and along with the good adhesive surface, does not easily lift at the corners. If it ever did come off, the stickers are so cheap that it wouldn't be an issue to replace them.
