Hi all, had mine "repossessed" on Saturday morning whilst stocking up for the "rugby braai" at Checkers. The place was very busy I must add...
Bloke at Toyota giggled when I ask "do you sell many of these?"
Is there a way to secure them to the rim to prevent this happening again?
Thanks

Ja this is a real nuisance. Had to replace mine too regularly on my legend 35 for my liking.
I then had an accident with the bakkie and in place of going to full mag repair route I decided to go on all my rims darker colour and powdercoated the rims (at a fraction of the cost). Then spraypainted the centre caps black... and since this is not the standard color anymore I have not yet needed to replace them in almost two years
But this is not a solution for all...
A friend of mine just ordered a new set fir his land cruiser as well and they are very much more expensive than on my legend. And they come off just too easily for their own safekeeping. Would like to hear if there are any clever plans out there to stop this
