Center Cap

Ditch 'em. They only degrade performance. Removal will shed at least a pound.

It turns out that your motto (signature line) is true after all:

"What you don't have is your own fault"

You should have dived in front of the oncoming car to save it.

I fear your only option now is to visit your dealer and buy a replacement.

The dealer price is going to be pretty high. When I was looking to replace one I had lost, the cheapest I found them for was $45.00. I have a friend who has a wheel business and works with new car dealers. I had him look in his storage room of factory take-offs but no luck. He did find a set of factory chrome wheels, I can see if he still has them. I then decided to take off the other three and call it good. If you can wait a week or two I would be more than happy to send you one. I am in Vegas and they are in Phoenix. I do believe they are sun checked (faded) but there may be a good one in there somewhere.

 

Gave all mine away.

Ditch them, spray some black paint on everything (including the rims and go.

But the Kurt we've come to know and love will try to carve one out of a bar of soap and paint it with moly grease.

Three months ago, I was wheeling through the potholes of D.C. and happened to notice my DS rear center cap take a hop skip and a jump past my window and into traffic heading the other direction. I watched as an Olds crunched it. By the time I circled back around to retrieve the remains, I think that it was hit by at least one more car. The thing was battered, scraped, and cracked. I threw it in the rear and was going to give it a proper burial in the basement with the old springs, bumpers, running boards and what not until I called the local dealer about a replacement. [ whole lotta $$$ ]. So I pulled the thing out of the truck, grabbed some duck tape, and super-glue necessary for proper BDAR, and went to work... but low and behold the thing snapped right back on -- no tape, no glue, nuthin'. And to this day it's holding in there like a champ.
If you haven't noticed yet, this post has absolutely no value.
Cheers.

Curran,
Your post has a *lot* of value. It gives a ray of hope to Kurt and his bar of soap.

Go to Ebay. Buy a set of four knock offs for $100. Put new shiny caps on your cruiser.

 

The hubs will still rust with caps (not as fast). Use rustoleum rust reformer/paint on the hubs.
