OEM 19" center cap swap

i've been playing with the idea of swapping the fuji center cap on my OEM 19" Rays with some actual Rays center caps. anyone tried this or know if it will work?

side note: am i correct that i can just pop the OEM center caps out from the back?

I can check tonight... I have a Volk wheel sitting in my room and some Infiniti center caps - if the Infiniti cap fits in the Volk, then it should work the other way around right?

i would say they won't fit since volk wheels have a larger center bore and require hubcentric rings

I was thinking of doing the same thing with mine, but wondered if it's kinda ghetto... I measured the width of the fuji caps and they're about 2 1/8" I heard the g-games rays caps were 2 1/4".

all center caps are NOT universal. I doubt the rays ones will work, because the aftermarket bores are larger than the OEM bore to accommadate more cars, then hubcentric rings are used to center the wheel. the OEM wheels are already hubcentric and made to the correct bore for nissan/infiniti applications
