Why It Matters
EMPI makes the Raider cap in two diameters, so the first thing to check is wheel size: 15" Raider caps will not fit a 17" Raider and vice versa.
Choose chrome or black to suit your wheel finish. Which current EMPI part numbers are Raider wheels is not always clear from EMPI's titles — the polished lip-and-face family in the table above is our best match, and we confirm with EMPI before shipping if you are unsure. EMPI uses the same product photo for the 15" and 17" chrome caps.
Install Notes
- Clean the wheel's center bore so the cap's retaining ring or clips seat evenly.
- Line the cap up square to the bore and press it in by hand with even pressure around the edge. Do not hammer a plastic cap.
- To remove, work it out evenly from the back side of the wheel or with a plastic trim tool wrapped in a rag. Prying on one edge can crack the cap or mark the wheel.
- Check that the cap clears the axle nut, grease cap or spindle before you drive.
