Acura RSX Wheel Center Caps
The Acura RSX is a two-door coupe which was produced from 2002 to 2006 and features the sporty good looks and responsive handling which make it fun to drive. Owners of the Acura RSX can use wheel center caps to both keep their car in top condition and customize it as they desire. A wide range of center caps are available to allow a variety of looks so anyone can make their vehicle their own.
What is the purpose of wheel center caps?Center caps serve two functions on your car. First, they cover the lug nuts to prevent dirt, salt, and road debris from getting into the interior of the wheel. Second, they add aesthetic value to the look and style of your car and allow you to personalize it as you wish.
What are some of the colors and styles available?The traditional Acura emblem of a stylized "A" is available in a range of finishes such as chrome, aluminum, black, or custom colors. In addition, the customization options are nearly limitless since you have a huge range of aftermarket choices which can truly make your Acura RSX one of a kind. Add custom emblems or color-coordinate your center caps to match your paint--the options are endless.
Are Acura RSX OEM parts the same as aftermarket parts?OEM refers to Original Equipment Manufacturer, which in this case is Acura or one of its subsidiaries. OEM center caps are the original center caps that were installed on the RSX as it came out of the factory. Aftermarket center caps are manufactured by companies who make center caps that will fit on the RSX but that are not limited to the original design. Because of this, you will find an enormous range of colors, styles, designs, and other options not on the factory-installed parts.
What measurements do you need to replace RSX center caps?To ensure you have the proper fit for your center caps, you should take the following three measurements by placing the center cap you wish to replace on a sturdy surface with the opening facing upward and the emblem facing downward.
- Inner Diameter: Measure the distance between the two inner walls of the center cap at its widest place.
- Outer Diameter: Measure the distance between the two outer walls of the center cap at its widest place.
- Depth: Place your tape measure in the center of the hole of the cap so that it touches the back wall of the emblem. Measure to the lip of the center cap.
