Default "A" center caps on GSR blades falling off.

When my GSR hit 90k I started loosing center caps off my blades. Now I've lost my 3rd and its a pain in the ***. These little plastic pieces are not cheap from the dealer and IMO the wheels don't look good with out them. Anyone else go through a bunch of these

thats permanent..you will need to take the caps out if you ever get your wheels balanced

i would use silcone..just get a tube of silicone, or any window sealant should work too..

..we did it at my tire shop..it keeps the caps in and allows them to be knocked out if you need the wheels balanced again when you get tires...

I just used a heat gun and a piece of aluminum flat bar cut to length to fix this problem. I cut the flat bar to be just a bit wider than the tabs on the center cap, and wedged it into place. I then used a heatgun to get it warm enough that it becomes a bit mroe flexable, but not enough to damage the paint. Once it was warm with the spacer in place, I threw it in cold water, removed the spacer, and did it to the other 2 tabs on the centercap. Worked like a charm for me.
