I just switched wheels to a new set of Fuchs alloys, but had some trouble with the center cap. The grease cap that came off the front hub was the black cap in the pictures below, and I want to fit the silver caps on the Fuchs, as pictured. Should the Fuchs cap fit over the black cap, or is it supposed to replace the black cap. Seems like the black cap would provide much better grease in/dirt out protection, but the silver center cap does not fit over the black cap. Thought? Wrong silver caps? Supposed to replace black cap? Thanks.

The silver cap is attached to the wheel.
The black cap fits onto the hub. Do not remove the black cap to get the wheels on. They keep the grease in the hubs. |
