center caps with a view

After I received my new wheels, I realized I didn't like the massive hole in the front center caps (I have manual hubs). My center caps are a two piece design so I started looking at a way to use the outer caps on the front. Since I needed to be able to access the hubs and the diameter of them were much smaller than the opening in the base of the center cap, I used a hole saw in my drill press and cut out the center part. After a little sanding they looked pretty good. Here are the before and after shots along with the picture of the cut-out. Sorry but the after pic is not that great.

Thanks! The after picture really doesn't do it justice, but it was getting late when I finished and was rushing to get the shots while the little lady was yelling out to my shop to come in and eat...
