WARNING

Using unsuitable hubcaps, or fitting them incorrectly, can cause accidents and serious injuries.
  • Incorrectly fitted hubcaps can become loose while the vehicle is in motion and endanger other road users.
  • Do not use damaged hubcaps.
  • Always ensure that the airflow to cool the brakes is not restricted or reduced. This also applies if hubcaps are retrofitted. If the airflow is not sufficient, the braking distance could increase significantly.

NOTICE

Remove the hubcaps carefully and fit them again properly so as to avoid damage to the vehicle.
