Anyone have a picture of an SC430 without the stock wheel center caps? I just saw a set of SC430 wheels on ebay, and I thought they looked pretty good without the center cap (see pic below). I was considering getting the new "wheel conversion kit" next month with the smaller center cap, but maybe I should just remove the cap completely. I don't want to take off the center cap without seeing someone else's first, as I'm concerned I'll do something wrong. I don't even know if I have the right tool.

Would there be any noticeable difference in driving or rim strength without the cap? Any potential problems?

Here is the pic:

Med,

I drove around like that for a while, a very short while. The allen wrench you need is in your trunk near the tools to change your tires. Just unscrew the bolts holding on the center cap and pull the cap off. I put the screws that hold the cover back on to cover up the 10 holes. I can't remember if you have to take the lugs off. It doesn't look very bad but as you look at it more and more, you just feel there is something missing. Especially in the center because there is no cover for the hub hole. If the optional center caps are available, I'd suggest those.

IMO the wheel looks better without the center cap. Try to ask someone in the Photshop forum to put them on your car.

The first time I saw my car, it was without the center caps. They came to the dealer that way with the caps uninstalled.

I suggest you call a dealer and ask to notify you of arrival of new SC's so you can go and take a look yourself in person.

Here's a shot of the chrome wheel with the center cap removed.
