its an 08 coupe, 3.5se w/ 17"

any1 else having this problem? i looked thru the board but couldnt find anything...its happened to me twice already...and buying a new one cost $50!! it the little center piece with the nissan logo...at first i just thought some aholes were strealing it...but when i went and bought the second one today, i figured i take them all out and superglue it on...turns out that the little plastic sides that holds the metal ring are snapping off...and after awhile itll all snap off and the cap will just fall off...

any1 else have this problem? if not then its probably just some aholes stealing them!

Never had that prob before and the wheels come off my car frequently. Did you ever take the wheels off your car before? The ring and snaps which hold the cap in place are pretty durable; you just have to make sure it's snapped all the way in before mounting your tire again.

BTW if you ever need more caps, check ebay. I know you can find them for less than $10 each. Sorry so late with the info.

Sorry to hear that, $50 seems outrageous for that center cap!!
