Attention NUTZOIDS : Picture's Requested
Didn't have your email to send direct, so here goes.
Anyone else who purchased the 15" full face hub caps, this is good practice before installing them. They will pop right on very easy out of the box, the problem is they will pop off just as easy with the first pot hole you hit! Before installing mine, I simply bent out each "tab" on the backside, just slightly.. you can also do this using the palm of your hand. VERY LITTLE pressure is needed to do this. Once done, you will not or should not be able to remove them by hand.. you will kill your finger tips trying to pry them off the wheel! For this reason, you will need to carry a paint can opener inside your car. This way in the event of a flat tire, you will be able to remove the hub cab, to then remove the wheel. Enjoy. |

I just took a rubber mallet to the insides of the tabs. I usually take the more abrasive way out.
Mine came off for paint. Stay tuned, tomorrow is going to be a good day. |
