- Gently pry off the factory hubcap using the included plastic tool or your hands.
- Pro tip: Avoid metal tools to prevent scratches!

Important Notes

- Floating hubcaps can slightly affect wheel balance. If you notice vibrations at high speeds, a tire rebalance may be needed.
🔹 Maintenance
- Every 3 months: Check for loose screws and clean inside the hubcap to prevent dirt buildup.
🔹 Legal Considerations
- Some states regulate LED or reflective wheel accessories. Verify local laws before installation.
🔹 Fitment Issues
- Confirm the hubcap won’t interfere with your brake calipers or wheel design.
Troubleshooting
❌ Hubcap won’t rotate?
