G2 ACR OWNERS ALERT as well as G2 BBS WHEEL OWNERS from ACRs

[JonB ~ PartsRack]

Anyone driving on OE G2 BBS wheels, needs to take heed of this warning: Your plastic-tabbed Sneaky-Pete CENTERCAPS are deteriorating in their hostile environment of corrosive brake dust and heat. They have become brittle and fragile.

The caps will fly off if you hit a pothole too hard, and will go missing. Dodge has not offered any since 2012, and BBS sold out all of them in 2014. And the G2 BBS wheel is a unique size cap in the Viper world.

ASAP, please consider adding a thin ring of silicone-sealer to the back of the BBS tabs, or the wheel center, to essentially fasten the caps into your wheels in a dependable way. You can still push them out safely from behind if you need to, and re-silicone. And Sneaky-Pete wants to stay connected too!

If you disregard this advice, you may kick yourself later........

Please post an ACR-BBS cap photo if you are able? Ive been trying to post pix since 1995.....

Sounds like a business opportunity Jon. At least you warned everyone

[Patentlaw]

Thanks for the info.

[drewsss]

Thanks Jon! Nobody wants to see mini-Sneaky Petes rolling down the freeway.

[ACRSNK]

This is true. Fortunately I have 2 spare sets, but I would rather not have to use them.

[BrianACR]

I lost one the first summer I had mine. Managed to find one but wow expensive!
Thanks for the heads up Jon!!

[sparkrn]

Thanks for selling me the last set you had Jon, they are still new in the box and not rolling around on the street yet

Ok, I know this maybe a dumb question: Is there a easy way to pop out the center tabs on the BBS rims without either prying them out (tried this but don't want to mess up or scratch the rim) or taking the wheel off?

2" Suction Cups that I got at home Depot! Dont work once siliconed.

Or take the wheel off, pop out with BLUNT, dull object

Thank you Jon!!

Ok, So the Guys should be able to push these out, but what do the Ladies do?
Even the Guys may have trouble with a 13j rim!

BUMP


Two more owners this weekend say that they had a BBS Center Cap "Found Missing"! Despite the oxymoron, if BBS Owners fail to heed, their ACR/BBS caps WILL eventually depart the Viper like unseen, cold-seeking frizbees.

Gone to a hobo treasure pile.

I'm keeping my BBS safe and running Sidewinder IIs on the street.

I have a permanent solution to this problem. They replace your OEM center caps, allowing you to safely store the originals while using these. Once installed there's no way to tell they aren't OEM. They bolt into place so no worries about them popping out. I could make a few more of these for those that lost theirs. Unfortunately my time is very limited at the moment so it could take me a few weeks. IMG_8810.jpgIMG_8825.jpg

Badass!!! I know what im doing now if I lose a cap

Really nice work! It’s cool to see people be creative and figure stuff out.

On a side note whoever designed sneaky Pete really needs recognition. Every time I look at the logo I think just how cool it is.

[ViperGTS]

a set in black, please, once you find time...pm me for paying.

[ACRSNK]

Interested. How much?
