Is there any way to make the center caps theft resistant?

Remove them completely, put them away in a safe place, don't use them at all. Cheapest solution I can think of.

EDIT: y'all laugh, but seriously. Put them away somewhere safe, they become incredibly theft resistant for free.

Is it possible they are just falling off? The spring retainer on two of my caps were loose and I had to add duct tape to make them fit tightly again.

My hub covers occasionally disappear, especially the fronts, and its mostly from road conditions. I put 3 dime sized blobs of polyurethane glue on the back of the cover so it bonds to the wheel and it keeps them on between tire changes. Its easy to bust them loose when you need to remove them, the poly just peels off

I’ve always preferred open lug wheels with a center cap to cover the grease cap only. Thankfully the Gen 3 Esky 22” Platinum center caps are completely counterfeit on Amazon and start @ $7.99.

They’re so abundant that even the tweekers have moved on from them because a new one is cheaper after shipping :chewie:
