You are right. Easy to mess up if you are not paying attention but an easy fix.

Thanks! Yes they do need a swap. I had them installed while I was at work today, and didn’t notice right away after picking it up after work. Good eye. Appreciate the input guys.

Some help needed. For those who may have installed OEM caps using the black blanks sent with wheels, what is the process? I don’t want to screw up the cap but looks like you would have to remove the prongs on the back of the OEM outer inner cap but really not sure.

TIA for any insight

I did this on my C7, so it may or may not be the same. You have to shave/remove those 4 tabs on the back of the corvette cap. So that the back of the cap will sit flush on the aftermarket cap "I am assuming is the one on the left "black". Then simply glue the two together. But like I said that was for my C7, but I will tell you my aftermarket wheels on my C7 had the exact same cap as the black one depicted in your pic.

I was under that impression as well when I disassembled the stock cap. With my wheels painted carbon flash and my caps being black, even with the main backing removed, the back isn't flush and with the cap installed it could apply pressure to the stock cap to want to separate from the aerolarri backing. I considered something of a screw to hold itinto the aerolarri cap but the outside visible portion is what you'd end up drilling.

Maybe they (the blank caps) are best used with some aftermarket press-on application but may just try the tape method and see what happens.

Haven't some people mentioned using double stick tape around the tabs of the Corvette logo center caps and that working to keep them in place?
