    Man, I love my FN BFD rims, but the privided center cap is in serious need of an upgrade!! With all the savy fellas here on TW, we need someone to create a TRD retro design that compliments these bad ass rims!!

    How many fellas agree so we can show it's worth someone's time and effort???

    I have FN Koning Countersteer Type X wheels. I'm in with this request, assuming the center hole has the same dimensions as FN BFD's. I think the center cap that came with the wheels is so blase boring and doesn't do justice to these beautiful wheels :D. Yes, I did call my wheels beautiful:crazy: I would be willing to pay for some TRD knock-off type caps or something that fits like the Level 8 MK6 caps. After looking at the Level 8's MK6 wheels when they came out a year or so ago, I realized how uncannily similar those wheels are to FN's. Just saying!

    Aloha, J.

    If they fit the six shooters I'd be interested. I'd really just like a black version of the silver TRD cap.

    I'm thinking about the TW user that's selling the trd caps for Method wheels. And if I can modify the center cap to attach his product

    if i understand you then those are two different designs. the FN caps are not like the TRD's, not sure about the Methods. the deal with those FN caps is they don't need to be modified, they need to be tossed in the trash and replaced with something half decent. nice wheels from FN but those center caps are crap and need to go..

    Yeah, I would consider these wheels if a cool cap was designed. The included caps are not too pretty. Bump.

    Sure. But someone will need to send me a cap to get the dimensions from. Can do plain smooth, TRD logo, dick and balls, whatever you want.

    o_O those? you want the same flat ones that come with the wheels?

    i was thinking about fitting the knurled TRD ones that come on the Pro wheels with the TRD badging... but I'm not really in a position to do anything except dream about it.

    edit: actually i see that the ones that come with the Pro wheels would never look right due to the wheel design. never noticed how limiting the design is.
