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

    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?

    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???

    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 .

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

    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.

    ^ 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.

    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.

    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?
