Customizing Your Advan Center Caps

If you are like me and have Advan wheels you know their center caps are somewhat plain. After refinishing my wheels I decided I needed a better looking center cap. I bought some Honda center caps from eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Honda-A...ash=item281ef4ef5b:g:pqgAAOSwIWVY9Vq8&vxp=mtr and using a heat gun removed the center portion from the plastic tabbed backing.

After cleaning my center caps I applied a couple of strips of double sided tape (http://www.gorillatough.com/gorilla-tough-and-clear-mounting-tape) to the new centers and stuck them on. The result is so factory-like and a perfect complement to my wheel and car. I think this solution would be great for any color Advan wheel.

I did something similar, but I just bought mine from this company and they came out fantastic. They're high quality printed and are 3D that give them some thickness with rounded off edges. Very much like an OEM type logo. The come printed with an adhesive backing. They can be ordered in just about any diameter (down to the millimeter), so I measured and had them fitted over my TSW Geneva center caps perfectly.

They look similar to this, but I emailed them and had them custom made, black "A" logo with a red background.

Excellent customer service, but the delivery time was pretty slow (like 2 to 3 weeks) because it came from Europe.

Hard to see, but you get the idea
