I bought my car a few months agao and the rim caps were off. I just asked why because i wanted to put them back on and the other owner said that one was crossthreaded. what can i do i really want to put them back on. they are racing hart S15 19'

Take a really close look at the threads. Outside threads can easily be cleaned up with a 60 degree "V" file or knife file. Botched inner threads require a thread file with the proper pitch. As in 16 tpi or whatever it is. TPI = threads per inch. Find someone or shop with a pitch gage to find the tpi. Usually crossthreading only messes up the first thread or so. Good luck.

 

thank you i will do that tommrow
