Hey guys, I could have sworn that i have seen a thread of modding the riveted 03' center caps to fit the 22'' reps.. I went through all seven pages and no luck. Any help?
Thanks,

its the very first mod listed under the appearance section
haha add it to your favorites! its updated every couple weeks with new how-to threads
haha thanks!
I did the required trim of the tabs of two with a drimel, i made it all nice and flush and the same thing happened on both. They have a lot of play and will easily come out. On the 03' center caps the wire circle is smaller meaning that it doesn't apply enough pressure when pushed inside..
Well I've come to the conclusion that its because this mod was for the Factory Reproductions and all of ours are Detroit's. So anyone who recently purchased 22'' reps I couldn't get the caps to fit by cutting off the 5 tabs..
so who's going to be the first to countersink and drill 7 rivets into the replica center caps to get them looking more like OEM? lol
haha
Bart,
all in steps my son; I bent the wire that your talking and there all 4 snugly in there but not like the repo caps.
i think the best bet is customizing the center circle of the repo caps..
the 03 center caps fit perfectly snug without any modding on the 22 DETROIT REPS and the DETROIT REPS CENTER CAP fits perfectly WITHOUT ANY modding on the 03 hd stockers. i know bc i just put my spare 20" on due to a nail on my rep rim/tire and while my stocker was on, it looked out of place with the stock center cap so thats when i figured out the facts on a first hand note. hope this helps fellas
