PatrickSilverado Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Maybe i can get some help from some of the guys that have owned foose speedstur wheels. My center hub cover that has foose on it will not stay in my wheel. I've already lost it twice, felt sick, then found it in the drive way at the same spot both times. I replaced the o-ring i supposed held it in and still lost it the second time. The covers on the other three wheels are set in stone, they won't spin at all, but the one im having trouble with you can spinn with you finger when its installed. Any tips or suggestions would be great. sorry about the long post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickSilverado Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 That might be what i have to try. I wonder why the stock one would just suddenly stop working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wody Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) Duct tape. fixes everything except ducts. i even made a t-shirt and a hat in high school for a presentation on duct tape.

12'SROCK Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 maybe try and use 2 o rings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTOGUY Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 A little clear silicone inside the wheel once the cap is installed. This way it can be easily removed to swap tire if you need to down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 First things first, clean the area completely with some alcohol. Make sure not to get it on the wheels face, and rinse/dry afterwards. I've seen problems like this before and just a simple cleaning to get the gunk out of the opening was enough to make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickSilverado Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 lol duct tape. The clear silicone might be a more classy approach lol... not that theres anything wrong with duct tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're paying for the FOOSE name.... nothing more... they were sold off to MHT awhile back and they're just mass produced as cheaply as possible. http://www.mhtwheels.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
