Vossen center caps

When I got my CV1's, they came with 4 center caps. The two pieces of the center caps were double-sided taped together... not the ideal way to do that.

I contacted Vossen and they sent me a 2nd set of 4 caps that were supposedly spot welded... um, no... they came apart as well.

If anyone else is having this problem, I have found a solution. Gorilla glue and a couple pairs of vise grips. I used an old t-shirt between the vise grips and the metal, so it wouldn't score. Leave it clamped for at least an hour or two.

It works well.

Unfortunately we did have issues with our CV1 caps .... but we now have a new and improved version that is 100% guaranteed. If anyone would like replacement caps please contact mike@vossenwheels.com and we will send you out new caps. Just please just let him know when and where you purchased the wheels.

Thanks

I appreciate the offer, Jav, but since I fixed the issue with the gorilla glue, I already have 2 sets.
