How to install center caps? or: Apparently I suck at life... help
So apparently I am retarded and cannot figure out how to get my center caps without breaking them. They go on almost all the way and when I think they are going to pop in they just pop back out. Is there a trick to getting them on or something? Or am I just totally incompetent lol

I don't think I've ever had metal center caps so I don't know what you're talking about.. My Works, Volks, Mugen, and any big name wheels I've had were all plastic..
My volks had metal center caps. The ones that came with the wheels when I bought them, and the extra set I bought to get painted were.

lol, I was using my bare hand and trying not to break it or the caps. The only other thing I had at my disposal was an up pipe. But if you think all marines are badasses then you need to take a good look at some of the guys in my unit... bunch of fat little ****s lol.
