Title: Rally wheels Hub caps question
Post by: jolinari on December 13, 2006, 10:02:00 AM
Mr. 502 mentioned that there is a  kind of part that you can buy from ecklers that can secure the rally wheel's hub caps from the inside preventing them from falling off the rim.

Any one know what part number it is, or name of the item?

Hi jolinari;42
I think what MR502 is talking about is an anti-theft system;-)
I do not recommend it;50
The system is basically a cable attached to the underside of your cap and then to a wheel nut.;eek
Problem is that if the cap comes off during driving it may damage your body. Can you imagine a cap attached to a cable flying around on your wheel until you pull over;37
Eckler's part # A7286
