No Center Wheel Caps

Anyone not using any center wheels caps?

Lost one on my aftermarket wheels and thinking to just remove the rest and paint the inner hub black to hide the rust. I know most people that track their car don't use them cause they come out so easily under heat stress.

The o-rings that hold mine in melted on track, so I just took them out and painted the area inside with flat black high-temp paint. Looks fine IMO.

Ok that's probably what I'll do then. Wanted to make sure seeing this is a classy AMG car didn't want to make a fool of myself. I had done the same thing to my previous car (which was a tuner car) that had Volk Te37SLs those wheels weren't designed with caps so I had to paint the inner hub black.

You can paint the inside portion, or just get the OE caps if it you don't like the look. The OE caps are all over eBay etc.

I probably should have mentioned I have after market wheels and certain the caps will cost a pretty penny.
