    Well as a few of you have seen i got a set of cr-v steelies for my winter rim. Well they did not come with center caps nor did i really want honda center caps...Im wondering a couple things.

    1. What size are the wrx,sti,and lgt center cap sizes
    2. could any of these work with said honda rims.
    3. If anyone has some center caps from various cars i can try out with said rims.

    Thanks in the mean time will be doing various google searches....

    The hole the cap presses into on my LGT rim is 2.16" and the overall diameter of the cap is 2.32" (the best I can tell with my plastic dial caliper). I'm guessing this is going to convert into a 55mm center hole and the overall diameter is 59mm based on online conversion charts.

    I bet they're the same 56.1mm as the hub bore.

    Well problem is one of 2 things. Normally it is raised on this wheel. 2. i would have to have said center caps to do this. the ones i got from the salvage yard did not come with them and to replace them with factory ones at the price of even 50 bucks to just paint over them sounded obserd.

    From what i remember they were about 100 for plain ones custom sized in platic. About 300 for billet ones with a porsche logo cut to cutom size. Im assuming they can do any logo with the appropriate image file.

    Confirmed it with the subaru dealer that no center cap ever stocked by them would work with the crv rims i have. However found a cheap alternative by just going down to the honda dealer with the wheel. $8.25 a cap will post the part number 2 maro when i get it on the reciept.

    Coat of paint to cover the honda badge and we will be good to go.

    Picked up my 3 caps that had to be ordered today. The part number that worked with the 09 cr-v steelies i have is 44732-s0x-a01(That is a zero not a o for people that want clarification)
    Caps at time of purchase were 8.25ea + tax.

    The cap according to my short google search belongs to a 08-11 honda element.
