Custom Machined Center Caps for my ADVAN TCIII's

krotondo · 04-03-2014, 09:52 AM

Hey guys,

I wanted to share a little project I worked on for my wheels.

My car is still in the process of getting built.. more on that to come.

So instead of going with off the shelf center caps for my ADVAN TCIII's I took advantage that my father owns a large manufacturing company and had one of his employees make me custom center caps.

I wanted a completely flush center cap, with ADVAN engraved for a simple clean look. The cap is held in by 4 stainless set screws that are on the inside of the cap.

Everything was done in a Haas VF-2, each cap was made from a single billet aluminum block

Wow those look awesome. Are you going to refinish them so that they match the rest of the wheel?

They look awesome! Do they fit advan rs?
I would like buy a set if you decide to make more

Oh, what I would give to have a CNC mill and billet aluminum lying around...
