Wheel center caps new finishing what do you think, Doing another run Options

[Mikey914]

So,
Our finishing company is backed up fro the next 2-3 weeks we have polished a few sets to get caught up on our back orders. It costs us a little more, and the polishing is good, but not perfection at 12" they are 3' perfect more a factor of the equipment we are using, but overall I'm thinking I like these. You can see the satin finish on the right. The only thing is as you buff you can can see ANY imperfection. Maybe I'm too picky but what are your thoughts? The satin finish is easier, and costs less, but the polish is closer to OEM. If you note the machine swirl marks in the satin, the polished ones are almost indistinguishable from the OEM (except when you go to remove they will not be corroded on).

Here's are some pictures to compare the new polished wheel cap to an old stock one.

The new caps are very bright and beautifully finished. Even though they are close to a mirror finish, they still retain their machining marks.


You can see here Mark's polished cap is somewhat lighter in color than the old stock cap.


Here is a profile view. Mark's cap is a few millimeters taller than the original but this would be pretty much impossible to see once the cap is installed.


I purchased the original anodized caps in the first group buy and remember them to be fairly chunky. I was surprised that the caps are now nicely carved out.


These caps are light but still a fair bit heavier than the old stock caps. They should be able to take a beating from ham fisted tire mechanics.


Overall, I'm very impressed by these polished caps. The only problem is they're so nice, I almost feel they're too nice to install. This is another great product from 914Rubber that I can recommend without hesitation. Brilliant!
