    keep in mind...these aren't going to be "Flush flush" with the wheel itself. I am basically removing the big long method protrusion and bolting on a smooth flat cap(with design) like OP's

    That's fine, as long as they are shorter than the ones on the wheels.

    Understood. Although flush looks a lot better, it seems it can not be done without running a spacer because of axle interference. So your design is the next best thing.

    Here ya go::
    I made it as low-pro as possible. MUCH shorter than the ugly method cap as you can see. If there is enough interest I can setup a group buy and make a batch of them.

    I'd like to see pics on a truck but if they fit like I'm thinking, I'll definitely buy some. I'm running double standards now and hate those damn caps. Just curious, these will fit just like the original caps? Meaning we can't run hub centering rings? I was gonna try some of those rings as well because the wheels cause a shimmy.

    The original Method Center caps is comprised of 2 pieces. The "base" which is a metal collar that snaps in from the inside. Then, the big plastic "method" atrocity that sticks out(attached via the chrome bolts).

    My mod would utilize the metal locking ring, then the TRD low-profile center caps would screw in from behind using the original holes. unfortunately I don't have Methods so best I could come up with is a crude photoshop;

    okay guys.. I wasn't happy with the first version cap. Looks like it was off the shelf of walmart.
    So I tweaked it a little, and will use some nice allen head button cap screws. Will post a new prototype soon

    Yes, this new design will bolt from the inside. Making the overall height even shorter.
