After having my williams wheels powder coated i cant seem to re fit the center caps, i take it its the build up of powder? have i got to scratch abit off to get them to fit? Really anoying!

I would probably have a go with wet and dry, will they not push in with a bit of a push?

They go in but not properly like dont want them falling out :crap:

Try to wet and dry the centres then, just take your time, im sure you will get a snug fit.

Trying to sort them out now as day off work see how it goes

the problem will come after a session of hard brakeing the wheel will get hot and expand, as will the centre cap - i wonder if you'll be able to get them off?? ;)

There off mate carnt get them back on:confused: do they sit on thefirst little lip or slot through cuz i they sit on the little lip theyll end up falling off

[Mudslinger]

had same prob with mine , bit rag and a rubber mallet sorted it ;)

Do they sit on the top small lip or are they suppose to push through abit? As there like the sane size as the top bit no way of pushing them through iv tried eveything today just dont wanna know just easily come out when just sitting on the top can stil see the clip parts if that makes sense?

you shouldnt see the clip parts from the front of the alloy they should fit tightly.. id try tapping them in as mentioned above be carefull though dont want to break the clips or the cap... i had a similar problem with one of mine after having my wheels done it went in eventually but just to be safe i put a bit of araldite around the edge but from the inside of the wheel never had a problem after and they looked spot on

Tried tapping them in.. If they sit where there sitting now then they go in but not 100% tight like easy to pull off.. I would of thought they poped through the lip:confused:

i think they do pop in but they are old.. clean up the lip, push them in and silicon them from the back to make sure they dont fly out.. you only need them out for a balance so it'll be ages till you need to cut them free..

try something like sanitry sealer as silicon goes really hard over time, bathroom sealer will be easier to peel off in the future

Sound mate il try that, any just been balanced so should be ok
