Lost Longhorn Center Cap

[CBari]

Well if they dont hold on the Hub under normal road and driving conditions then to me it is sure a warranty case.
Wrong Engineering and they know it.

Longhorn, cheap plastic crap.

These pictures explain a lot to me now.

Different design but still clip on the lug nuts!

Hard to believe they make the Longhorn caps that much cheaper. I use a lady slipper to pop the caps off on my Tradesman, never tried by hand but by the resistance felt with an 18" bar it would be pretty difficult.
A friend made the mistake of buying an aftermarket set off of fleabay. They were a horrible fit, you could actually hear them rattle with every bump. He ended up buying OEM and tossed the others. I've got one hanging on the wall on my garage as an ornament

My front Oem Caps rattled from day one, and were loose. I went with after market, and if they don't fit good I'll have some wall hangers too.

Don’t discount thievery. I’m anal and walk around my truck every time I get in. I “lost” the rear caps in front of Bed Bath and Beyond @ high noon. The right front @ a very expensive restaurant about 9pm. The last one hangs on the wall.
All good “caps end up on Craig’s List.

I put the after market caps on my truck, and used silicone on 4 of the lugnuts to help hold these caps on. 2 weeks so far and there still on. no rattling. These caps are at least half the weight of the originals, and the chrome isn't as nice. All in all I think they were worth the $44.00 I paid for them. Time will tell, but for now I'm ok with them.

Update on after market center wheel caps. They are working as they should. The silicone is holding tbem im tight, and no rattles
Wish I would have put the silicone on every cap before I lost one. It's a great Tip. Do it unless you want to spend $ 146.00 on one cap or $45.00 0n aftermarket ones Without the Longhorn logo. Anyway they look and are working just fine.
