someone stole my wheel center caps...

Hey I noticed I parked in Queens Astoria someone had stolen my center wheel caps i was like fu(k. I never took them out I dont even know how.

How much do they run for?

How do you take them off? I imagine it's quite simple.

If you've got a spare set let me know.

Be careful around Ditmar and 31st in astoria

centercaps on snap into the center of the wheel. You can easily removed them with small flathead screwdriver. Sorry to hear someone stole your caps. Those are not too expensive since most acuras uses the same caps.

Sorry to hear about that. On the bright side, at least it wasn't the headlights or paint damage.

true. Could have been worse.

Does the immobilzer chip in our car really make it hard for a thief to hotwire.

Thanks to all

Make sure you replace the center cap soon. Without the center cap water will get into the hub and may cause the hub to start rusting faster. if you drive it without the cap for a long time the rust will build up and the wheel will be stuck to it, making it hard to remove the wheel

Damn it, today I was washing my car and found that some one stole my tire rubber cap. I know it probably cost pennies to replace, but still upset that some one would take it.
