AE Wheels have a crappy center cap

Okay, I'll probably get flamed for this one, but what the hell is up with the center cap on AE wheels? Grey plastic? It looks like a crappy afterthought. If they AE was so special, don't you think that they should have made a special POLISHED center cap to match their POLISHED wheels?

IMO.....I'd MUCH rather have regular 17" SE wheels than those things.

Yeah I know what you mean. But a good reason to get 18's and put the stock one's on for winter time

I had that center cap on my 17 se rims(until i got my 18" C3), it was a very bad idea. I belive that is why they changed it. If u notice the 2k2 SE have the 2k and 2k1 SE rims but with no center cap, there is just holes for the lugs.
