Default Rota Center Caps!

I just put on my Subzeros, and already I lost a center cap. Seems these things are very susceptible to heat, only the front ones seem to be affected. one fell off and the other is loose. I only attacked a few onramps with them... The rear ones are still on nice and tight. Frig, it's only like 5C these days. What's gonna happen when it's 30C!

Either way it doesn't matter. I hade orded the flush silver cetercaps to go with them already. Has anyone had problem with these?

What about the regular carbon rota ones, anybody lost one? Not many seem to even put them on, maybe thats why...

Here's the link to the guy who sells the flush center caps. Much nicer IMHO. They're on back order though, so I have to wait...

It was wierd. All of them were on realt tight when I put them on at first. They were actually hard to put on. Then after two days, I had lost one. I check the others, and the remaining one in the front was loose. Not to the point where it would fall off, but I could rotate it freely. Anyone with rota's that has put on the stock caps surley knows what I'm talikng about.



(Sorry, I just love posting up images of my car!)

You can see the missing cap in the front...

Yes and mine are sitting in a cardboard box. I think it looks better without them.
