|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10-1062-0 | Chrome metal | 4-lug steel wheels | Each | 0.27 lb | US |
What's Included

- Wheels and lug bolts are not included.
Why It Matters
A chrome center cap is a clean, simple finish for 4-lug steel wheels that take a small cap instead of a full hubcap, such as on Baja Bugs and buggies.
This is the 4-lug companion to EMPI's 5-lug metal caps (00-9623-0 / 18-1115-0). EMPI does not publish the cap diameter; ask us if you need to confirm against your wheel.
Install Notes
- Clean the wheel center before fitting.
- Press the cap on squarely; tap only with a rubber mallet and a rag over the cap.
- Check clearance to the hub and axle nut before driving.
