I'm not exactly sure what you need me to Measure. The I.D. Obviously what else the depth mounted? My m105s have a couple bolt holes for the stock caps. will they be covered by your cap?

thickness of wheel face to face at the center opening. do not subtract taper as the lip of cap and o ring take up that space. best way is face to face thickness with a caliper.

example....i emailed a customer today who ordered a set for his 17 double standards.....low and behold he went outside and measured and sure enough the 35mm caps are the ones that will work rather than the standard 30.5 mm tall caps.


now only 1 set of the taller caps left


have a few of regular height, black on black svt. those will ship as there isn't a need for any extra machining. hope to have those here in about a week ready to ship.

I am ordering a set of the Method 305 NV machines faces in 17". Please let me know if any SVT caps are available. Thanks

Hey vince, do you have the ability to do slight variations in size? When my rims got powder coated (two layers) ... guess what, the center caps didn't fit and I didn't think of it. Ended up completely jacking up the powder coating on a rim (all my fault)...but not one SINGLE cap made it even 1/100th of the way into the opening.

not really caps are cut in large runs and current run is almost here, when we designed the caps they were reduced to accommodate their powder coating to fit perfect in wheel, method wheels aren't powder coated in the hole and if it is its very minimal.

if and when they're is another run, not sure what machinist would charge me to do a one off set but only way to accommodate your newly coated wheels would be for you measure the diameter opening and make some accommodations from there.

I actually just tried to email you again and I recieved an error back that your account is over quota? Not sure what that means but, check your email. I'm sure whatever you think you sent is still there.
