Mungo Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I really like the Radius Exel 18 X 7.5 wheels (in gun metal on a brilliant silver wagon) that I picked up from another forum member last week. However I'm not crazy about the design on the center cap. Does anyone have any experience with applying stickers to their center caps? I'd be interested in knowing whether there are off-the-shelf designs out there, and whether or not the old sticker (it is my assumption that it is a sticker) has to come off first before the new one comes on.

Mungo Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 The surface where the sticker would go on the Radius is pretty far recessed. Would removing the center cap for sticker install be the way to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I did the Rota caps off the car, but the ASA on the car. Whichever way you can get it positioned properly and the bubbles smoothed out is best. You can use some light soapy water to aid positioning if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfxdave99 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Are center caps standard sizes? If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Are center caps standard sizes? no. They do vary widely. You have to measure for vinyl overlays - Grafxwerks can make them to size though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCDetails Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Well, it is ended now, but they have the same type set with black lettering instead still.
