TE37SL's and the rusty hub issue...
You know this:
Got sick of looking at it so I sanded down all of the rust, masked everything except for the inner hub and the front edge of the lip and sprayed a few coats of brake caliper paint. The result: The simple yet very time consuming solution. I think it looks pretty good.

You do know they make center caps for the sl wheel to sit flush right? It's a small piece you snap in and done. Much cleaner. I did what you did here on my old NSX. Looks good but now that you can run centercaps on sl's, why not go that route? It's just a piece so you can run caps.

2 - It doesn't result in a flush cap like HK suggested (I think he was referring to the cap you can install on the regular TE37).
