Hubcap clips repair?

(1/1)

vridaw:
I have some wide 5s wheels that need some new clips as a few of them broke off.

Any recommendations for shops that can tackle the job? I don't have time to build the revitting tools necessary to put new ones in.

Thanks!

BUSDADDY:
Machine screws and nuts do the same thing as a rivet, they just take more time to install which slows down production lines.

vridaw:
Ok - any ideas where to get them on a weekend? CIP1 has them but I won't be able to get them until a couple of days.

Big O tire Maple Ridge ? Think they still have the adapter . If you want straight rims with clips already on ..... Oval's motor sports in Fife WA . Primed ready to paint . $ 55.00 each . Wide five smoothies & others .

That is solid info - thanks v. much!

If I can get my hands on the adapter to help balance the wheels it would make my life a whole lot easier, I'll ask around! Thanks again.
