Hey Guys,
I had a problem with Hubcaps traveling and cutting the valve stems. So on someones advice I installed metal screw in valve stems and adjusted tension on hubcaps. My question is now that I have screw in metal valve stems does it matter that caps are still hitting against them. Thanks Rich1967 |

It is almost impossible to stop the hubcaps from floating on the wheel. Now that you have the metal valve stems it should be a mute issue. The caps will not cut through the metal stems and should not apply enough pressure to dislodge the stem. I have not had any issues since installation.

Thanks Rich1967 I made some prop weldings on the rim for one of the hubcap clips so they can't turn no more.This problem was discussed before in the forum 'newbie chat/forum how to' i added one picture there how i did my wheels ,no more problems now. |
