Rota centre caps


Recommended Posts

yup same wheels just wider rears chief,like i say the fronts went straight on. I have a feeling that the o/s rear might go on as it would partly go on with the metal ring in,just not enough to be in properly & stop it launching down the road when i moved :lol:

Shaun,

 

It's Magnus here - Bob's in hospital at the moment but I'll try to help you as much as I can. Can you possibly send me a picture of that cap inside (with all the pegs showing) - what is the diameter of the cap and the wheel?

Buuummmppp.

 

Anyone got a solution? Its quite annoying having just 2 sodding centre caps on the car now :rant:

They never fit right mate, if they are the same as my GTRs. There isnt enough clearance between the wheel and the hub for the cap retaining clips to fit in. You can wedge them in if you're lucky (mine were ok first time) but you have to fit the centre caps to the wheels before putting the wheels on the car. Sucks I know, I run mine without caps now, just hammerited the hub centres black. :)

Aaahh good man.ill have to whip one off & try it that way then,one of the caps will need to be stuck on somehow i think as its only got 3 pegs left now :thumbdown:

The fronts go on fine so why couldnt the rears :lol:

Final update now i think.

 

Had new tyres fitted at work today so i tried the caps as the above post suggest & they just pop off when you put the wheel on :bang:

Now im left with two sodding caps on the front & two totally useless ones :rant:

I think that's probably why Bob didn't fit them... I spoke to few friends and they have the same problem??? I don't get it... get rid of the plastic pegs and replace them with 'springy' metal ones? simple and quick or just glue the buggers...

Did say it was a bit hit and miss. It worked with mine the first time around, but never since! I have just hammerited the bits you can see of the hub black and it looks ok for me :)
