I cut 1" off of the center cap plastic posts and it looks much better. They stick out right at 1/4" from the wheel now. I ordered brand new stainless steel bolts from McMaster Carr and it all turned out great. I just used a dremel with a cutoff wheel.
I was also told by a manager of Wheel Pros who distribute the XD's that they have a shorter cap so it will sit more flush to the wheel. The longer cap is for the 20's that have more off set, at least this is what he told me. I had already cut mine by the time he told me. May want to check with the place you got them from to see if this is true before you cut them.
