A few people have tried to make comments about them being fake Center caps... but that has come from Honda civics with wings on the back of them. If you like them put them on and don't worry what others think.

Flush lug nut covers would be great though

Oh no no no, those aren't fake my friend. Only very high precision machining! Designed and rated by the most advanced solver known to man kind today also (Nastran/SOL601). A fully matted assembly in those similar tolerances, with two different mat properties would cost you an arm and leg (machining alone). Try to explain this to a civic ricer next time LOL He'll immediately start talking about tomorrow's forecast I promise.

Good feedback none the less. Was actually waiting for these critics to kick in... was getting worried. Time to make more

PS: Kevin, moving this pic across. Could look at this wheel all day long, sorry bud

haha! Yea, good news is I got all the material in hands already + a new batch of the same crests turned up 2~3 weeks ago. Its about time we get a few of those those done. Will be fast this time tough... all the CAM code and fixtures are already done

Just waiting for this silly weather to stop. As soon as we hit in the 28~30degree I'm re-opening the shop bud. Its roughly 40~45dC indoor that shop these days. Although it was pretty cool today (31dC).

Shooting there every evenings in about a week (2 max, I really hope).
