I'm with mav, ian and ainsley here. The speedline centre caps form a pretty tasty seal and greasing the offending area should be good enough to keep the bearings happy for as long as I'm going to own the car. | |

I removed my grease caps, I'm yet to inspect but I'm sure the centre cap on the wheel will keep it clean enough. | |

What shit? absolutely none. after 30k its still clean under the centre caps of the wheels. No shit can get in there perhaps some water if you parked in a foot deep puddle every night. | |

what ya wanna do is keep the caps on and hammer them flat, they had to do this on my GSI hubs to fit my 17's and get the centre cap to fit | |

Any of you guys running Allesio 2s on your Corsas, how on earth do you fit the centre caps on the rear wheels? |
