    What is the diameter of the disks themselves?
    aprox.:100 mm.
    Remove the black plastic ones and mounted these metal ones with some adhesive.

    Was toying with the idea of shifter knobs myself. My idea was trying to figure out a way to make a clear one out of a resin with one of the VX HotWheels encased in it (silver in my case).

    Sgt Batguano has a point in that the '99 wheels have a different kind of center cap with three screws that go into the wheel between the lug nuts. I'm not sure if the areas where these discs would go are the same size on the 18's and 16's or not.

    I never realized that the stock 18's are different from the stock 16's. I always thought they were exactly the same except for the diameter.

    Yeah, the 99's have Trooper wheels, just shinier. The 18's are another creature entirely. Taller, wider, different centers, different spoke details.

    The factory center caps are attached with 3 bolts from the inside of the wheel and the cap extends to the center of the bolt circle. The caps on dg's wheels are held on by the lugnuts, if I'm not mistaken and the circumference extends outside the bolt circle, like some older isuzu caps.

    I know this is an old post, but, I researched a little and see a few VX pics on this site from different members have different Isuzu OEM center caps on their stock 18"s. I'm seeing one type that is in fact smaller and just mounted to the wheel itself from behind as SGT.BATGUANO said, not through the lug nuts...like this:

    While others have caps that are mounted through the wheel lug nuts and are wider....like this:

    Was this an Isuzu change in design or something else??
    hmmm........?
