Default Lost a center cap!



After I picked up the boy from work, I noticed when getting backinto the car the left rear cap was gone!

When I transferred my centre caps from the OEM rims to the Turbo twists there were 2 that were very loose.

I took a pair of large pliers to the metal spring on the back and bent them out to secure them more.............its not perfect but they stay in place so far.

I'm going to paint then again this winter and perhaps super glue them in place!

I would think the keeper of the shrine would have sacrificed sufficient virgins to prevent such mishaps!

I have noticed that both my rear center caps are getting loose and will spin pretty easy...I'm gonna try the pliers-spring fix and if that does work then its silicone time!
