Love the flat caps! I actually recently replaced the Ansens on my '59 with a set of the empi versions.

Those look outstanding, do you have a close up of the texture?

Do you know what the blasted them with, I assume glass beads?

I really like the wheels but I fancy changing the centre/center caps.I'm thinking about the same style but ending in a point instead of the flat area for the badge.

Is anyone else running different caps?

Great thread guys!

Question: what centre caps are these above ^^
When searching all I can get are the green ET centre caps.

Keen to know more about these centre caps - it's one of the reasons why I really dig these wheels.

Thanks guys

Caps were custom made on a waterjet cutter.

I bought mine off a guy on the samba, but for the life of me I can't remeber his name..darin dudley? Maybe someone else knows who I'm talking about. He custom made them with the flat four logo on them.
