    Basketeave Center Caps Falling Off

    I had my iX basketweaves and center caps powder coated and now my center caps are not locking. I came to a stop sign today and my front left cap came off and proceeded to roll down the road. Luckily nobody ran over it!

    Then I went to each of my other wheels and with a good tug I could remove them all. Damn!

    I'm not sure what I can do to make them secure... Any suggestions?

    that sux. every basket weave i've ever owned, the center caps are removable by wrapping my hand around the nut and giving it a twist. i'm not running weaves on any of my cars at this time, but i have never lost one.

    take a good look at the locking tabs. more then likely one or more are broken/worn off. perhaps the best thing to do would be to replace that cap(or the plastic center part that locks into the wheel if you can get only that)
