How can I keep center wheel cap crests from moving?

Concours judges demand that the porsche crest point to the valve stem on each wheel. 3 of the four caps on my car spin very freely and they end up not pointing where I have set them after any drive.

Any ideas as to how to make them stay where they should be? Obviously I still want them to be removable.

Try some silicon from the inside, it should hold them and is easy to remove when you need to.

I like the boothe centers, neat concept.

The problem is that those centers would fail concours events unless the wheels were all in a position witht he valve at the bottom.

Here's a good compromise. Get the Booth design silver or gold crest embedded. The caps fit in and lock from the back. Have to take the wheel off to get them on tho. They will NOT move!...and yes, I know I need to lower the car!

I personally think boothe's no turn cap is a great concept for luxury car, but no sure about sport car.

anyway, it's great stuff

Dr., do those concours judges jump out at you while you are out running errands? Can't you just set them as they are supposed to be in the prep before judging? Me no understand why you don't want them to move if you aren't being judged.

Yes, I agree with Red Devil. Why the need to get new center caps when you can just fix them while prepping the car for judging?
