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

Here's another pic I never posted before. Mine are the HP Evo silver light wheels. Those darks look sweet tho. The 640 price sounds real good to.

I actually like the chrome lip. My polished lip lost a little luster after awhile. The all chrome is a little too bling for me tho. Nice find.

I have some HPevo's and i was dissapointed to see discoloration on the centercaps, seems like they are fading a bit, not enough clear was put on them maybe, as well as the paint is already chipping, only after 8k miles. However i get compliments all the time, does anyone know where i can get some plain silver centercaps? And would they look bad if i shot them black?

I had the same problem with the caps before they were stolen. I used the wrong rim cleaner and blamo they were starting to turn almost white.

TeamRx8 is sending me an OEM cap.
If it fits the HP's, I'm buying these caps:

TeamRx8 is the man! Looks like the OEM center caps fit HP Evos. Hell yeah I'm saved. Time to spend some money.

Dude anything is better than staring at my rusted-out center holes! I just ordered the rotary centercaps up top. I can hardly wait! If I catch a Honduh Civic with my hp center-caps I dont know what I'll do.
