[email protected] Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Need a little assistance maybe you guys will have some ideas. I recently purchased some 22" chrome ride tec rims, from what i can tell the company is no longer in existence. I have 2 seperate issues the first is that one of the center caps chrome is bubbling up right now, and the second issue would be that the center caps do not fit on my front hubs. The caps prongs are too long and hit the wheel bearing caps. Anyone have an idea on where i could pick up 2 different center caps? or ideas how to make the ones i have work. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1BAD2K Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Take measurements in mm of the cap diameter and google it for center caps. Also, like aSSet said, some pics would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I had a similar situation with some wheels on one of my race cars. I trimmed the center hub to accommodate the center cap. Otherwise its hard to say without a picture of the actual problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[email protected] Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I will post some pics later this week, the truck is in the shop currently, as I hit a deer a couple of weeks ago but supposed to be out Wednesday. the cap is not hitting the lugs it is just a small center piece of the rim maybe 2" in diameter. Thanks for the help I will get pics up as soon as i get the truck back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_aSSet Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I would just trim as much as you can off the tabs to get it to fit flush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 That is most likely what I am going to do, however one of the caps has the chrome bubbling up any ideas on what i can do with that if i cannot get new caps?
