hi - i recently "lost" one of the plastic covers that covers the wheel nutes on my 19" 5 spoke alloys. on further inspection, the rest of them are all just super flimsy and not actually clicked in any way.

has anyone else had similar issues?


im expecting at some point they will end up falling out.

I thought the same the first time I washed the car but when I got it detailed my detailer told me that the star in the centre is a clip. Once fitted turn the silver piece like a dial. It'll move maybe a quarter turn and that's it locked into place. They don't feel flimsy any longer.

Some are taking them off and getting a MB cap for the center and leaving the bolts exposed.
