    I hesitate to ask this because I'm usually all about functionality, not looks, but my wife really likes the look of the star pattern on kmc rockstar wheels. And OK, maybe I do too. I don't really have the funds or the need for those wheels on my truck, cool as it would be, but was wondering if anybody makes aftermarket center caps that fit on OEM wheels that might have a similar look? I did quite a bit of searching online and on this forum and found nothing.

    Since the factory wheels are hub centric, any center cap that slips thru or uses a slip thru type retainer will not work, the factory wheels fit tight on the hub and there is no extra room for a center cap or retainer.

    If these wheels use a center cap that bolts to the exterior, then you can have a machine shop drill the holes, they can set it up and make sure they are perfectly centered, otherwise it is a crap shoot to center them and not cause yourself other issues, mainly balance issues.
