hubcap tech????

[speedaddict]

I just got these caps from Farmer John and really don't feel like loosing them so I was wondering if you guys suggest adding doublesided tape, silicone, etc... to the wheels and caps to keep them on the car? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

do your rims have the clips to hold them on or you want to use the tape or glue to hold them on ???????

[speedaddict]

they have clips but i lost a couple caps cruisin already

[Slag Kustom]

some times you have to build the rim out with a little weld to get them to fit tight along with bending the clips.
mine fit so tight after doning that it is tough to get them off with a pry bar

Are those Cad Sombreros? Someone did a post about mating those to trim rings so that they would fit well on non cad rims. You have to do a search, I can't remember who posted it.

Speedaddict,
What year are those? I just bought a set just like those on e-bay. The lady isn't into car stuff but said she has over 600 wheelcovers for sale.

Something I learned years ago, painted my rims just before installing hubcaps. Let sit overnite or longer, haven't lost one since............OLDBEET
