I bought some American Racing AR-105's last month but wanted to give them a stock appearance. This is what I did to make it so!

This is the AR center cap as it comes with the wheels.

I filed notches in it and drilled a hole in the center.

This is the factory Buick center cap. I removed the retaining ring from the back.

This is what it looks like with the ring removed. Note the tabs around the outside.

I JB welded a stainless screw to the center of the Buick center cap.

I then put the AR cap onto the bolt and filed the notches so they would tightly fit onto the Buick cap tabs.

Last step, I installed stainless washers and nut.

Finished product!

The factory Buick center caps look like they belong on the wheel, fitting it perfectly. I assume this can be done with almost any aftermarket wheel.
