Hi, I've just bought these wheels for my 2003 WRX and noticed they're missing a centre cap.. didn't read the advert properly
They're 5x100, 17 x 7.5J and say M600 on the back of the cap, I've just scoured the web and forum posts seem to give dead links or out of stock shops.
Does anyone know where still sells the centre caps? Or perhaps someone has one laying around that they would part with for a small fee?
I've ordered a set of Prodrive by Oz decals so colour isn't an issue as wheels need a refurb already.
I'm just in the process of designing some for my 3d printer if you'd be interested in a set?
I'll be doing them in black PETG, if you want any other colour they can be spray painted.

Yes that would be great if you could make me a set in black. Perfect! I can sort the cost out through PayPal if that suits?

Sure, let me do some test prints to ensure fit and quality etc and I'll send you a PM. £10 should cover time materials and postage for a 'beta' product.
I got one (with a boken clip) with my set of wheels so I'll start by trying to make an exact replica (appearance wise) with a bit more material around the clips for additional strength.
This version is actually on my printer as I type. However the convex top face doesnt suit FDM 3d printing very well, you'll always end up visible steps from each layer. Unfortunately I dont have a resin printer.
So if the convex version doesnt come out very well I'll see how they look with a much flatter face.
Getting quite a few messages about the 3d printed centre caps, so quick update for you...
I am working on them as and when I can but they are a side project atm. Very busy at work and my girlfriend is moving house so not a lot of spare time at the moment. Please bear with and get there soon as I can.
What I have found so far is that the convex shape of the OEM caps with the embossed text is basically impossible for me to replicate with any reasonable quality (with my equipment). To match that design would require hours of hand finishing making them just too expensive.
So I'll just be focusing on a design with a flat face with the embossed text in.
If anyone desperately wants a set quickly, I can do plain ones without any text (in black) just PM me.
Thanks,
Jonny
I'm missing a cap from my l 2006 PPP option OZ 18's, same style as OP but in GunMetal, after the tyre fitter somehow trashed one - I need to measure size but if the same fitment would defo take a flat cap (and another spare).
Thanks for the interest.
I've got a couple of centre caps on my car as we speak to give them a literal shake down test. Going well on the B-roads so far!
I believe I've got them to the point that they work as well as the originals and look alright (I'll get some photos tomorrow)
The print time to achieve this is longer than I'd anticipated (got to run the machine pretty slow for the quality), so I'll only be able to reasonably print 4 caps per day. This means I'd be looking for £45 per set +pp
If you're still interested (or not) could you just post a quick yes / no for me to gauge interest?
Thanks, Jonny

Hi,
Have you got any pictures and are you selling them as complete sets or individual as well?
Hi Jonny,
Yes I could sell them in ones and two's, but bear in mind they won't match the original's. Price would be £15 for one, £25 for two. £45 for 4, £52.5 for 5.
Here's some photo's of the last one I did, which I was experimenting with sanding back. This photo is after a course sand, so isn't representative of the final look achievable.

Yeh they look good! As long as they fitted the same as the others with the sticker facia on top. I'm definitely interested in a set. What do they look like on the wheel?! I only need one in fairness but obvs want them all to look the same when fitted! (OCD)

I've got a set of unused as new ones. Polished with prodrive writing. 150 . Cost me a fair bit but sold the p1 and wheels now so no longer of use. More pics available of wanted.
