Watch out for your center caps.

Whats up guys, I just wanted to let you guys know of a possible problem we may have with our center caps on our factory rims. They are the same caps used on the Integra models. I had a 98 Integra and twice the caps actually popped out of the rim while driving. First I thought they may have been stolen but when i checked I noticed that they were all lose. I just noticed that the caps are coming lose on my Type S. I dont know if it is from the Florida sun or what, but the glue is wearing off and they are about to come off. These little plastic caps are around 17.00 each. I just wanted to give a heads up.

Hey, thanks for the info!!

I too, have noticed that the center caps are starting to pull away from the rim...

Also, and I don't know why, it may be the salt and winter driving we had here in IL, but the caps are starting to corrode from the outside of the cap in towards the logo.

I mentioned it to my service manager and he ordered 4 new caps for me under warranty...
Going to the service shop this coming Friday to have them replaced... I'll let you know how it goes!!

Thanks again for the info!!

Mine are starting to do this and I didn't even use my 17" RIMS over the winter.
I had the TL RIM's w/snow tires on the car.
