MATCHING DUMMY CAPS
MATCHING DUMMY CAPS
KEEP ALL YOUR LUG NUTS LOOKING THE SAME...
Introducing the dummy cap installation option. The dummy cap process is where for (4) of your current lug nuts (1) one from each wheel are removed and modified to screw ontop of the Rimlox wheel locks keeping all of the wheel locks looking the same. NOTE: Dummy caps are not required for wheels with center caps.
Why are the dummy cap(s) required to have the guarantee?
Although optional and (extra), the dummy caps not only conceal your Rimox wheel locks and keep your original look, they also protect your threads from rusting. Why does this matter? If your threads rust just like one in the photo, there is a significant chance that the Rimlox wheel lock will seize up and potentially become stuck on the stud and not come off.
This also prevents the key from being able to remove the lock(s) potentially damaging or breaking the key when it could have been prevented. All Rimlox wheel locks are under a lifetime warranty that replaces keys and locks if they break, however, not if the studs are rusted and causing the key(s) to break.

(Dummy caps NOT required)
