Smoothie center cap issues
 

I need some help! I'm so disappointed with my new Wheel Vintique center caps. I love the style, but after buying five of them, I have only two that I believe "may" stay on the wheels beyond the first trip around the block.:cuss: The retention rings are too flimsy and deform when trying to pop them onto the wheels. I bought them for my new Wheel Vintique Smoothie wheels. I am sending the caps back to Summit for exchange for a better fitting style, so I'm looking for recommendations for a nice looking center cap that actually fit these wheels and will stay in place.

You can wrap some electrical tape around the lip of the hub cap that will snug it up some . A bit rigged but it works.
Its a series 12 right ? Im sure you know but you know there is a trick to put them on right?
Get the lip under two of the nubs and whack on the cap to get it over the 3rd one.

Yes I contacted WV. They offered no solutions other than to return the bad caps and try some new ones. The guy also said they are currently looking for a new supplier for thei caps, so what does that tell you?

I have tried this method of snapping the caps onto the wheels, less the electrical tape, to no avail. So frustrating....
