Okay guys... looking for recommendations. When I bought my Bullitts from AFSwheels I had one with that didn't want to keep the center caps in. After they nicely sent me 3... they finally decided I should send the wheel back in as it sounded like they CNCed the center a tad too big. I couldn't exactly go without a wheel that easily... so I talked them into selling me two more wheels for cost. I told them I could use the one with the messed up center cap for my drags.

That was like a year ago, and the center cap has been fine since that time. Very strange. Until last week. I caught the little fuaker halfway out. (better than losing it like the last 3) - so here's my question.

What should I do to keep this damn thing in the wheel? The tire shop has to be able to remove them for mounting and balancing right???? Or can I glue the thing in and not worry about it?

Bring on the suggestions.

I've had the same problem with my AFS Cobra R's. One day after getting home from work, I close my door and I here this "plop". I look over and my centercap is sitting on the street. When I try to fit it back, its like it wasnt even from the same wheels there's so much play in the center.

Maybe try sylicon instead of glue. Less messy to cut out when you need to remove it. PLus you can use some clear sylicon so its not visable. Just a thought.

Nothing. The center cap is still sitting on my kitchen table. I dont think I'll be able to get it to fit back in with any kid of adhesive.
