I have a set of NB wheels I am (someday...) going to put on my NA. I was thinking bronze. I do not know what to do about the center caps.

If I paint the wheels and not the caps, it will look strange. If I also paint the caps the Mazda emblem being bronze also will look strange. I could tape off the Mazda emblem but I do not have that sort of patience x 4. And leaving the center caps off does not look right?

I must be over thinking this. Put the wheels on the car and get rid of theugly wheels I have and be done with it.

Wait, I could drill out the center cap and put a center cap on my center cap. No.

Is the center logo removable? When I painted my rx-8 wheels, the logo came off with a bit in of careful tab bending, which made it a lot easier to paint the rims.

If not, I'd paint them along with the rims, then get a fine point paint marker to go over them.
