Hi all,
I just got new 17" OZ leggenda wheels and I realize it didn't come with wheel caps.
It's fine for me but if i don't put on wheel caps, I can see the rusty center part.
I try to buy the OZ center caps online but I don't know which one will fit.
Is there anyone can tell me which size of caps I should buy? And where I can get?
If this wheels has no center caps, what can I do to remove those rusty part?

Thanks for the help.

Mask the hub and paint with Eastwood rust encapsulator matte black.

Odd...I was just looking for center caps for my OZ Carnovas.

Several things I have learned:
*OZ Caps are priced like gold.
*There are knockoffs out there.
*If you have just one center cap, the part number is on the back. For instance, mine has M582. A 52mm/55mm cap.

You may check with Tire Rack to see what they have to offer too.

Good luck with the search. I think those were designed to be run without caps though.

Maybe consider a high-density foam plug that can be cut and trimmed to fit inside nice and snuggly.

Tire Rack says "center caps not available". They look beautiful on your car!

He's correct. There would be no clearance for a cap. Due to the thin opening, there is no where for a cap to hold on.

I had Way install one of his stud kits which came with open nuts. The threads would show rust to the point I finally had to replace then with closed nuts. If I had your wheels and had to deal with rust, I'd probably break down and break out the Rust-Oleum!

Thank you for all the opinions.
I will just try to sand out the rust then spray the Eastwood rust encapsulator matte black on it.
I will update the pic after I receive the rust encapsulator.
Thanks

Your welcome. That paint, even sprayed over rust and left outside, should last a year or so.

Those look awesome. How much brake clearance do you have? Will they fit over JCW brakes?
