    What's the point in an 'Open ended tube"? It'll still look unfinished.
    Do you know that, with a 50 character limit, it's

      Not if you just need a couple for the free wheeling hubs...

        It's all extra unsprung weight, bad for handling and performance.

              I think theyre horrible. Rather have the hubs painted black.

              Plus, I would have to take the wheels off to adjust bearings. Too much work that.
              well, that was a bad idea!

                As above, they remind me of 80's kit cars and the weird shaped wellers of the time.

                  How do you set the preload to spec with the wheels on ?

                        Why on earth would anyone want to buy "open ended" hub center caps? whole point of em is to "tidy" up the hole, i got mine yonks ago and some stick on (double sided tape!! cant beat it!!) toyota badges,
                        since fitting the free wheel hubs i didn't neet the pair on the front, the free wheel hubs look fine so no need for covers

                          Ian, I never noticed they were open ended, but never mind, now that you have mentioned double sided tape I expect ( hope ) the focus might shift to that.

                            Wasn't inferring you were suggesting open ended caps mate, at first glance at the advert i didn't notice it either, very decieving on the part of the seller i think, just wondering why anyone would buy open ended caps!! (or even make them) seems pointless, wonder how many people bought them without checking the listing properly?
                            anyway i aggree unless one wants the dirty muddy rim these center caps do finish off a aftermarket rim.

                              Someone said it on the first page, you need open ended caps if you have manual locking hubs, or you wouldn't be able to lock/unlock them, they still match the rears then, and cover the locking hub body.
