    Functionality is the key difference in your comparison, in which centercaps have none (and just pop off in seconds).

    Anyway, do whatever makes you happy, OP.

      They do have a function. They make me happy. That is their function. Regardless, the Porsche writing on the brake caliper serves NO function and can easily be sprayed over. So that too, can be covered in seconds.

          I think you need to close up that front fender gap. Then you will be stylin'.

              I am trying to find some. But regardless the Porsche rims are coming off. I want to refinish them, any ideas for paint? For now I will be rocking Koseis WOOO.

                  Easily sprayed over? There's still going to be an etching in the side of the calipers. If you really wanted to get rid of it, it would take a lot more effort than popping off a plastic cap. I just find it strange that you wouldn't display the badges if they came from a Honda.

                  I'm not extremely fond of the calipers myself, but I'd rather have the functionality of excellent stopping power that could save my life, than some centercaps that serve no purpose other than serving an elitist attitude.

                  But I'll just agree to disagree.

                    Obviously I wouldn't want the Honda emblem thats not ballin' to me, but the Porsche caps are. I may have an elitist attitude, but panties will be droppin when they see the Porsche emblems.

                        Did someone say solid disk?



                        I think you should "paint" them fully polished. ;)

                            Yes these wheels are minty fresh.

                            There was/is a set of 16 x 8 and 16 x 9s over on Vortex. If he had a 4lug setup, I would have driven to house to trade wheels.

                              I saw those and were going to buy them but I got a ridiculous deal on these. The green ones right?
