The fact that the center caps do not fit the wheel..Will that affect the control arms? I was told by a mechanic that in the freezing temp and washing the car will make it so thecontrol arms could break easily..Anyone know anything about this?

 

huh, no cap affects control arm? Not mine, had torques for 3months w/o caps - don't fit but had NO probs! Looks cool w/o them...

 

your control arms are exposed to all of the elements anyways, I dont see how this could make any difference.

Although it is possible to rust your axle nut with no center cap, but it wont be anything that some air tools won't be able to get off.

 

These are the specific parts the mechanic was talking about

 

anyone?

 

I was a little worried when i first purchased them because of this... but then i found out that you can pay 3x as much for work emotions.. then they still dont have center caps. I have also seen bent work wheels.. not a problem from the rotas.

 

I answered your question...the mechanic should be smarter than me

 

Nah, I didn't mean it like that. I just posted the pictures to make sure I was clear of what part i was taking. No disrespect to you

 

I see, but I would understand that in the summer center caps might not be needed at all, but in the winter there is just a ton of snow, salt, and all of that junk. I'm still a bit worried.

 

My control arms

I have 14,000 miles on my wheels with no problems

 

Yeah.. I was confused when he mentioned it to me, but it looks like no one is having any problems

 

your mechanic is stupid
