AMG GT 4 door
Wheel Cap Fail (RVM, 20-inch AMG multispoke w/grey accents)




Anyone with this wheel have problems with lost wheel caps?

The cap is super easily removed with bare hands, even my 7 year old son can do it in 10 seconds,
and sometimes it does not even lock in place in any position (youtube video)

Obviously there are mnay reports of lost wheel caps after normal driving.

This is becoming a widespread problem here, because all the pre-ordered AMG GT 43 cars are equipped with this style wheel.

We are thinking of applying some silicone...

If you opted for this wheel, you should check out how easy it is to removed the cap, right now!
Next time you might be missing one too....

How could AMG release an item with such a big defect?
Adding to the problem, replacement cap costs over US100.....

damn! the price you paying for that car this shouldn't be happening. Maybe see if the dealer can replace it with a different rim of your choosing.
