On mine in the exact centre of the wheel there is a little metal dome thing on the back 2 wheels but just a bolt on the front 2. Anyone know what this is and why its not on the front 2? If you could have it on all 4 it might look alright!


It's ok for the back one's because you can paint those 'Dome things' the colour of your car but at the front they need to get to those bolts... Everyones wheels look like that bud!

I dunno mate it's annoying aye? I think they need to get to those bolts for tracking or something I don't know. Any mechanicly-sound people know?
Shame the domes aren't on the front because I'd clean all four up and paint them panther black. Then get x4 wheel nuts in black, job done!

yeah exactly! if you look at the front there are 3 little holes around where the dome would be so i imagine one would fit there if you could get hold of one. I wondered if why they didnt put them on the front had anything to do with the fact that they are the drive wheels? Just a guess

i think your talking about the hub nut cover if so the reason for only being on the back and not the front is on most cars you fully tighten the hub nut with the front wheel on the ground but you can get away with doing the back without the wheels on.
