    The DX4 wheels I just put on come with a plastic center cap 2 pc. assembly that snaps on from the front.
    They are VERY easy to remove by hand, which led me to think they would be just as easy for some dumb punk to steal OR just to fall off at some point.

    They have 6 molded in socket head cap screw heads (fake screws) around their perimeter.
    This turned out to be advantageous.

    I wasn't fond of the "DX4" branding on the center cap, so that had to go also.
    2 of 6 fake screws were drilled out, transfer punched to the wheels, then drilled and tapped the wheels for 10-32 X 5/8 long SHCS. No pics with the new screws in place, but you can't tell any difference from the fake ones until you're right on top of them.
    I'll let the pictures show the rest.
