12 SLOT CENTRE CAP INSTALLATION GUIDE
5 & 12 SLOT CENTRE CAP INSTALLATION GUIDE
IMPORTANT
DO NOT USE A HAMMER OR RUBBER MALLET.
Using tools to force the cap into place can damage the cap and will not be covered under any claim.
Allow polyurethane adhesive to cure for 24 hours before moving the vehicle.
STEP 1 — PREPARE THE WHEEL
These wheels use three raised bumps inside the wheel nut area to hold the centre cap in place.
A separate retainer is not required.
For best results, we recommend applying a strong polyurethane adhesive to these bumps before installation.
What You’ll Need
Strong polyurethane adhesive (recommended)
Clean cloth
Preparation
1. Clean the three raised bumps on the wheel
2. Apply a small amount of polyurethane adhesive to each bump
The goal:
Create a secure bond between the wheel and centre cap.
STEP 2 — INSTALL THE CAP
Required
Centre cap
Electrical tape (only if needed for fitment adjustment)
Stage 1 — Positioning
Align the centre cap with the wheel and line up two of the three bumps.
Stage 2 — Seating the Cap
Using a closed fist, gently tap the outer edge of the cap while pushing downward and inward at the same time.
Work evenly around the edge until the cap is fully seated.
Do not hit the centre of the cap.
Stage 3 — Final Check
Ensure the cap sits evenly with no gaps or movement.
TROUBLESHOOTING
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Cap feels loose or easy to remove |
Remove the cap and wrap 2–3 layers of electrical tape around the back of the cap. Reinstall and test fit, adjusting until the fit is firm and secure. Electrical tape helps: • Tighten the fit • Add extra holding pressure • Support the adhesive bond |
| Cap does not fit properly |
Ensure you are using caps designed specifically for these wheels. Factory 5 & 12 slot caps may not fit due to differences in pressing. |
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Allow polyurethane adhesive to cure for 24 hours before driving
• Do not use a hammer or mallet
• Only apply pressure by hand
• If something does not feel correct, stop and inspect before continuing
