    Magwheel caps are one of the favorite items being stolen nowadays. Especially, sa Fortuners.

    I'm looking for a deterent solution, a lock, a etch, bolt, screw, and etc.

    Suggestions please.

    BTW, removing the caps is not a solution for me...so don't bother.

    I was actually thinking the same thing

    errrmmm have them welded on i suppose? Or hammer them in with some sort of filler so that they cannot be removed manually?

    center caps? in my crosswind, it was screwed in from the back so basag siya pag sinikwat. i also consider fixing it with glue permanently but you can't place it at the spare tire carrier with the center cap in it. filling it with an epoxy could deter them from reselling it dahil either mabasag (if plastic) or totally di nila makuha.

    Use rubberized epoxy. It'll still be removable from behind, but it'll be a pain to remove, and sobrang hirap sungkitin from in front.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    a bit OT..un corolla ko dati un emblem sa harap dinikitan namin ng epoxy pero nanakaw pa din but medyo mapuputol un clip nun emblem kc dun nakadikit un epoxy....

    fast forward 3 years...ng napunta ako sa banawe to get my driver's side power windows fixed....there was this guy na nagpupumilit bentahan ako ng emblem na pang corolla...kinabit pa nya sa car wout my knowledge....nun chineck ko ayun....un loko wala ng clip dinikitan lng nya with a glue or something....tatagain pa ako sa presyo.....looking back...bka un nga un emblem na ninakaw sakin .....hehe

    pero un nga kahit na anong dikit natin...pag me ST (sipag at tyaga) ang magnanakaw gagawa at gagawa ng paraan yan para manakaw...minsan sisirain pa un auto....

    Both of you might have missed out what I've said. Removing the caps IS NOT A SOLUTION FOR ME.

    Thank you for your participation and suggestion...but no thanks.

    i followed sir niky's advice na lang, kaso ala ako makita rubberized epoxy sa mga hardware na pinuntahan ko, so i used pioneer sealant na lang, rubberized din sya, nilagyan ko mga clips nung cap tas kinabit ko, hope it holds out.

    anyway ang problema ko na lang is if someone tries to steal them (yung tipong gusto talaga nakawin) masisira nya or magagasgasan nya yung mag wheels ko sa center.

    best solution talaga yung sabi ni jagxtrm, wag na lang lagyan!!! i tried it kaso di ko talaga matiis, i even painted the center of the rotor discs para maganda tignan pero iba talaga yung may cap, mas maganda kasi tignan eh.
