    Hey guys! For those of you that don't like the stock yellow wheel caps (oh my...I didn't say that) or simply desirous of a slightly different (but subtle) look...take a look at the attached photos for a suggestion. Easy mod...I simply purchased an earlier version of the caps (with the removable center), cut out carbon fiber inserts, and attached a small cavallino horse.

    I also made a set with the centers painted to match the wheels. They also look great...my personal preference is the carbon fiber version.

    Carbon fiber sheets (in various textures) can be obtained from Tap Plastics (www.tapplasitcs.com)

    I'm sure the modification will receive mixed reviews

    I have the centre caps from a 456M which are exactly the same silver as the 360 wheels and have the Cavallino badge attached to it.

    Part no. (if you're interested) E174226.

    Looks really nice. I just poseted under the 348/355 section a question that I have and wonder if you might know. I have a set of aftermarket whhels that were installed this morning. Problem is that the center caps from the stock 348 wheels are too small. The new wheels have a 2.25" diameter opening and I can't seem to find original or aftermarkets that will fit. I'm sure I'm just not looking in the right place and wondered if anyone knows where I might find a set??

    actually on the caliper the internal diameter is 57mm rather than 2.25" (60mm). Any suggestions on where to find the 57mm ID caps (even blank ones) that could then be badged?
