How do i get stock centercaps back in ?

Just took my set of stock wheels to have my winter tires mounted and balanced. The dudes took out the centercaps and I cannot figure out how to get them back in, the metal wire clips are out too.

I would have the place that took your tires off put them back in. I don't see why they took them out to begin with.

Heh, i always wondered how to get those things back on. I took mine off for track day cuz the centercaps tend to fall out on the track.

Pull the wheel insert the cap and then the C clip. Same clip as talon eclipse etc. If you dont have the clip go back to the tire place...
