Feeler - group buy on custom Billet Tech Foose Nitrous center caps?

[Super T]

Thinking about having the BT folks work their metal magic on a set of center caps for the Foose Nitrous wheels I have en route, but the price would be more appealing if some others wanted in on the deal. I know there are quite a few people running these wheels on their LX's so hopefully we can find 5 or so people willing to partake? Logos would work the same as their regular center caps, pick an off-the-shelf, or go custom for a lil extra somethin-somethin. Soooo, who else wants in?

I too wondered about these... Although not black... I'm thinking chromed "cone-age"...or "bullet".... Like my strut covers. Did they stop making this style????


But yeah....might be interested.... thus :subscribed:

Mike we no longer make the Bullet style.But if you could get a few to agree we could
make a set for you foose guys.Now remember.In order to make a center cap we will
need a wheel..Sooo we would need a local guy to swing by so we can do some measuring.Does anyone
know if the 20's are the same center as the 22's???

[monty1269]

Hey Scott...I've got access to both sets...20's AND 22's-duh..... Lemme know if you need em. They're off my car too. DOH! Yep. Runnin on stcks. :roll: GOD it looks awkward!

[monty1269]

Tell ya what...If this storm (hanna) doesnt make a mess out of Friday night...maybe I'll bring a 22 up to Tower for you guys...

You'd be my personal hero if you took one of each over there :-)

And good point Scott... yes, all would need to agree on the shape of the caps. Engraving is different and can be unique to each set. Color isn't a big deal either. It's just the machine set-up time (as I understand it) that we need to cover with the 5 sets... Personally I like something similar to the stock wheel caps in that picture, just a little curvature. I dunno, something that stuck out further would be OK, but not so much that it couldn't be engraved.

^^^ You are right on the money for machine time..Mike,Towers is
a no go for me.I will be leaving for Boston for a week Friday morning.
Im sure we can meet up and i can get them to the shop.We should
only need them for a couple days..I will start a group buy thread as
soon as i speak to heidi and get some prices.If there is enough interest
it should be much more then the ones we sell now .

Just let me know when/where.....

[BSHAW27]

I might be interested if the fit the Foose Legends as well. I assume it would be the same?

[Super T]

Dunno... would have to find someone with legends and have them measured.

[monty1269]

Relistically...they are probably the same... The center of the wheel still has to fit all the lugs soooo..... When we measure both of these 20" & 22" we'll know for sure... If they are the same then chances are...all the same.

[Super T]

^ I could see Foose doing it just to be able to use their center caps on lots of wheels but it definitely doesn't have to be the same.

[BSHAW27]

Well since they are actually called the Foose Nitrous Legends I thought they would be but I guess if you guys get a deal going I could have BT send me a test one to know for sure.

[Super T]

The Legends are a new style. But if we could have one measured or have someone take the chance, then we'd know.

Hi... Saw this post and wondered about a couple of things;

1. Does anyone have a spare OEM Foose center they can spare?
2. How much for a set of four of the billet centers?
3. Any chance of making a plain jane polished center cap with _no_ markings?
