Question installing centercaps on LE37T's? Please help.

I am having a huge problem. My centercaps for my Volk LE37T have been stolen. Don't know how they got them off. No damage done to the wheels.

I have the replacement centercaps and can't figure out how to install them. I can't read japanese. They come in pairs in a little clear box with each one wrapped in a clear bag. Each centercap has two black rings wrapped around the inside. Then there is one more ring per centercap that is not on the cap but loose in ther box. Where does that loose ring go? When I insert the cap on the wheel with just the two rings that came already on the cap, it pops on with ease and comes right back off with ease. They will not stay on the wheel if I were to drive anywhere with just the two rings on the cap. What do I do with the other black ring that came loose in the box and how do I get them on the wheels? Help.....

With the two rubber rings, it should snap on with a pretty good amount of force. We usually spray the rubber with WD40 and push them on. They don't go on very easily though.

If you bought the wheels or caps from an authorized Volk dealer, they should be able to provide you the number to their Volk USA account rep and provide you the tech support for getting them put on. If not, then you would possibly end up just having to call the company you bought it from and hope they know what they are talking about.

The two rubber rings that come on the centercap aren't the same size. The one that is loose in package is the same size as the larger one on the cap. Do you use two of the same size or one small, one large? Thanks.



I bought the caps from Evolution Autosports, they don't know to put them on.

I replaced the larger one that came already on the cap with the one that I thought was the same size that was in package loose. The separate ring was slightly bigger. No one I called or talked to including several vendors could tell me this simple solution.
