Anyone with Merc Toliman rims have issues with front caps?

Post by Daryl_C »

Evening,

I have had some Toliman alloys on my t3 for a while, even with spacers on the front the grease caps stop the centre caps fitting!

Anyone got any ideas or soloutions to extend the caps?

I removed about 10mm from the grease caps iirc

I used a 10mm block with a scriber and scribed a line around the grease cap on a flat surface so the line was level all the way around then I put it in a vice and hacksawed to the line. Grease caps still go on fine

I think there is something in the wiki about it
