Default Center Caps

Looking to replace the plastic/chrome center caps that came with my 15" 5x5 Pro Comps. Any recommendations? Are all 5x5's the same size or do I need to try and find the best fit. I am thinking of going with plain steel ones.

The stock as in Jeep stock? The Pro Comp Extremes have the pop through types.

i'm not sure if they're universal or not. i don't really like the look of center caps so i actually got some chrome spray paint and just painted. you could probably do the same with black paint.

That's an idea.

My best thought so far is to get plain stainless steel and paint the center glossy black leaving the sides stainless. I have the Pro Comp Extreme 8179's, glossy black with circles and the brushed stainless simulated bead lock strip around the outer edge. I kept the standard lug nuts so they are steel vs chrome as well. The paint/stainless combo would tie everything together nicely.

Need to find some stainless steel closed center caps without logos that fit but have not been able to do so yet.

Came up with a COOL option . Pics will come next weekend. Used the JK logo in steel and the rest is black with a chrome ring. Really make the wheels pop and blend with my whole silver/black theme.

Plus, it is awesome to have more JK going
