Default Just got my set of ISP mode rims from Sewell was I supposed to get center caps?

Just got the rims in the mail. Noticed they didn't come with center caps. What's up with that?! I could just swap out the old originals I guess but they look like a different color/finish. Anyone know if the center caps they have on their G spiders or ISP's are the same finish as the original 18's or not? Cuz the ISP's are a dark pearl finish compared to the silver paint of the stockers. Also if I swap them out I won't have center caps to sell with the originals either so either way this sucks. Thanks!

That's odd, my ISPs came with the center caps. This morning I verified the color matches the metallic finish of the ISP, and it does. I've already sold the original stock rims with the silver center caps. But my ISPs were ordered thru the dealer.

hmmm that sucks.. I'm getting them installed tomorrow so I guess I'll ask the dealership if they have the matching center caps... arghhh. If I knew earlier I woulda ordered the matching centers from Sewell also for a discount.

You should contact Sewell to verify if they were supposed to come with your order..

Maybe they just forgot to package them into the boxes... ?


The OEM silver ones will fit, but your right, they will not match in color..

Good Luck

^ okay thanks guys I just wound up reusing the stock silver ones. Not too bad actually nobody I showed the rims to yesterday can tell the difference unless I pointed it out. Actually it's pretty nice since the slight color difference draws more attention to the big L in the middle.
