Did you PM nerweezy???? I bought this exact thing from him!?!?! You might even be able to order these off of Trinity's web site. Unless you need a special size......I don't understand why you are having trouble finding these.
i would try and paint them but it has a laminate cover and i dont want to screw the only ones that fit up. obviously i could order new ones from miro but rockin these wheels with no center cap while i waited would be foolish.
black caliper paint kit isnt getting here on till monday, weekend plans ruined.

i did and jbspeed. it seems miro changed the size of the center cap and no one seems to have the size that fits anymore. i dont even want to use factory ones because they have that yellowish rubber seal and it would look real bad.

looking into that, car insurance, ordered better hub rings, and caliper kit comes monday. it never ends. cant wait till i buy a kit and have to deal with getting it painted and installed. sounds like a blast!!! but once a job is done its completely worth it!!!

why not just take the stock ones, take off that coating and paint them. I think, considering that you're soo far along on your color scheme (black and white), reverting to original is really crazy. Ride it to the end and then, if you don't like it when everything is done - calipers and all - then you'll revert. But you won't

you cant mess with the black and white centercaps .. i wouldnt want to start trying to color them myself.. thats crazy
trinity doesnt have them (ive spoke with nerwyll about it numerous times
) and miro changed the size of the centercap.. its 69mm.. jbspeed has 70mm.. he told me that will fit.. although im leary of buying from him/them/whomever he is.. i would like to think that 70mm will fit the miro's as it is ONLY 1mm larger then the miro centercap.. im debating pulling the trigger as im having the same problem.. (think i pm'd you brett about it a while back)
meanwhile im riding around with blue and white on my wheels.. and black carbon fiber everywhere else.. (hate being mismatched )

Well Miro uses a more convex cap compared to the stockers which have the cocncave shape that little difference is why the caps wont work and your stuck with factory colors.
