  • Question about getting the "EAGLE" off the centercaps of eagle wheels.

    Hey guys, I have a set of Eagle 077 wheels on my car. I think they look really nice polished up and I don't have a problem at all with them. Any 5 spoke wheel looks good. Anyway, I think they would look a whole lot better with the EAGLE off of the center caps. I checked out the company's website, I can't find no way of contacting them. They do sell replacement caps, but none that are completely shaved. So i'm thinking of ordering a set of replacement caps and attempting to do this myself, if it is at all possible. After looking at them for a while. They appear to be engraved a little bit and it looks like they were painted black in the engraved part and then sealed with something. I may be wrong, I have no clue. I'm not sure how much I can shave off before there is nothing left. But i'm thinking maybee I can sand them down with some really really heavy grit sand paper, at least until I reach the engraved part and start taking it down. After then I will bump up the sand paper until I reach a really fine stage until I can polish them back. I wouldn't mind either having the EAGLe still on there, just not black, so you wouldn't beable to notice it. Do you guys think it is possible to do this?

      it looks to me like its ingraved aind then painted in the plastic and i dont believe it will work. seeing as the centercaps were like 8 dollars each i dont really think its worth it.

          the center caps from SLP fit in the Eagle 077's. i know i tried. my dad had a set that had the bowtie faded so i tried them in the eagles. they worked. but i like the Eagle symbol.
