Center Caps Ripped off.

Looks like some punks ripped out the center caps off my rims. Friggin' jerks. Will any rim caps fit these things? Anybody? Help?
Who takes an HP logo! F*ckers!

Nah, no damage from I can see. But it looks like the caps were glued on so little force was needed to take 'em off. Bastards.

Messing with someone's 8 is a good way to get SHOT. Hope you find new caps. Punkass's probably wearing them like some kind of freakin medallion. BANG

I think he pasted them to the sides of shoes to cover up the "pro-wings from pay-less" logos. bastard.

That sucks TxRx8!!

Don't worry, if they run out to California to try and sell them, I'll get them for ya...


What's up with everyone stealing stuff off our RX-8's lately? I was highly considering buying the Rotary center caps and rotary valve stem caps... might have to rethink that one

Did your center caps get stolen while you were out or at home?
Thanks for the compliment bud. The caps were stolen while at was at work.

Have to have a damn torx wrench to get mine off. And well they'd be incompatible with anything else. So I'm lucky there. Any day now, my nice valve stem caps will disappear, I'm betting.

Thanks

Don't mean to hijack your thread, but Alex just quoted me:

(4) 18x8 HP Evo 5x114.3 Hyper Silver Dark $640.00 shipped

And the NEW HP Evo with a Stainless Steel Chrome Lip (see pic)
(4) 18x8 HP Evo 5x114.3 Hyper Silver Light with Chrome Lip $840.00 shipped

Sounds pretty good, right? What was your offset? Also, do you have a larger photo of your complete car? Man I sure am demanding today
