Does anyone have problems with hubcaps rotating?

I have seen it happen many times. I have taken hubcaps off just for the purpose of finding the valve stem to check the tire pressure. Some are worse than others and just because you can not turn the hubcap by hand does not mean that centrifugal force can't. You can try bending the retainers so it grips the wheel better but this usual results in a warped hubcap that is difficult to install and remove and may not cure the problem. You can go to your local tire shop and have metal valve stems installed. This will not cure the issue but the hubcap will stop rotating when it hits the stem instead of folding the stem over and causing a leak.

As another member has expressed tweaking the tangs won't warp the hub cap but will help the hub cap grip the rim better. I hope you did read where I mentioned grippers all the way around. I have tweaked tangs on a many of a hub cap to get them to stay on the car especially on spinner hub caps. The spinner on this Furd cap is much heavier that the cap. I lost several of these caps until an old timer had me tweak the grippers to get them to stay on. I did it and the caps stayed in place and I never lost another one again during the 4 years I had the car. Simple logic tells you that tweaking the grippers/tanks might stop the hub cap from moving if they are gripping the wheel securely.

Really Bill?? Metal valve stems = Chevy motor?? Do you think these will really distract from the appearance of that nice original car??

Chebby motor was on the extreme just as I intended it to be and yes metal valve stems will distract from the appearance of an original car. The caps are likely to chew through the coating and reveal metal on the valve stems that will look horrible. Metal stems might also cause the hubcap valve stem hole to become elongated and ruin the cap because it will still be trying to move.
