Stolen Centercaps

So here's my story.....the one day I park outside on the street I get my center caps stolen...now if you own a Infiniti you should already have center caps..I'm I wrong? So why would someone steal my caps...maybe they have a 370z and putting Infiniti center caps...anyways thanks for listening to me vent...I gotta get replacements now does anyone know the size?

Maybe it was another G owner wanting IPL center caps. Those IPL caps are suppose to give up to 100 HP to the car. .

Not sure of the size but, a few weeks ago a strange looking Infiniti blew past me on the Highway. When traffic slowed down I got close enough to make out the '88 Maxima completely re-badged as an Infiniti. *sigh* Logo, I N F I N I T I lettering, but no model spec'd. Must be one of these JDM (Juvenile Domestic Market) Infiniti's?!

They obviously didn't know it was an IPL cuz after I noticed my caps were gone I also checked the trunk and the IPL badge was still there.

Bastards....

I'd just go to the dealer and order new ones. I'll try and check the prices on them, and if its a substantial difference in price from MSRP to employee pricing, I'll order them and ship them to you.

Dealer wants $37.00 plus tax EACH! That's a waste of $167.24CAD does anyone know the size ? I see they have aftermarket center caps for alot cheaper might just get custom ones made for that price. I just need to know the size...does anyone know this?

Daren, try Kal tire in Mississauga, they lost mine and replaced them so I am sure they didn't pay the full price. They may have a deal somehwere. Ask for Justin, tell him Brian with blue G37 sent you.

Thanks for everyone's advice. You know when ppl say " karma is a bitch" well the kid that stole my center caps was a 22 year old guy, how I know this....my Neighbour across the street has cameras at the front of his house. Anyways make a long story short... I knew the guy cuz he does have a Nissan 240 fully built. So I went to his house explained how he got caught, and said I want my caps back plus $400 cash or I'm callin the cops. Conclusion of this story....I left with my caps plus $400
