Makes the rig wiggle a bit up on top. I've set down lights on the arm of a few cranes over the years. Good times! -
oh, and might I just add... if I were to endeavor to say the words rig wiggle several times in succession... my head would 'splode just like those Martians' noggins in that movie Mars Attacks. -

Piece of cake.
It took me the whole 10 hour day to set and wire them
If you catch my drift. -
Not to change the subject, but I saw this Someplace Else and thought it amusing enough to share. I'm funny that way.
You know how there's this cottage industry of "clones" of famous and/or expensive amplifiers now being made in a large Asian country and sold for pennies on the dollar relative to their inpirations? (and that aren't really clones at all in any meaningful sense of the word?)...
Well, I saw photos of one posted today someplace else* that I found amusing. This particular clone has gotten even less clone like, apparently, by now adding "VU meters". Interestingly, they do appear to be bona fide VU meters...
... they've got the Dolby NR calibration point marked on 'em and everything.
Just like your favorite 1970s cassette decks.
Jeepers.

Didn't used to happen this bad before I lowered my car. Only an inch.

@Viking64 what's that?
Normally I don't respond when people use that annoying "mention" feature, but in this case, I will make an exception.
It is a "hub dust cap/cover" or a "wheel bearing dust cap/cover". It fits over that little hole in the center of the wheel. I highly recommend getting some, especially in the winter. They are about $4 on the internet.

As in a name for the dust cap or a hubcap in place of a dust cap? -
Good info, thanks. I never paid attention to that, my summer wheels are alloy's that are covered there.

My bad. When I say hubcap i mean the one that fits over the entire wheel..

Walmart has some pretty sweet plastic spinner hubcaps. That would be baller af.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Is there a collar on the back side of the alloy wheels that fits into that center part? If not, you are still going to get salt in there.
There is usually a notch in the threaded hub (to facilitate a cotter pin) that would/might allow salt to get into the wheel bearing, which would $uck goat appendages. -

That would upgrade your ride from a "chick magnet" to "chick vacuum"! -
I have Walmart underpants. -

So I should put my underpants on ebay? -
We don't do salt here. Mag chloride I think it's called.
It's just a snap in cap.

Magnesium chloride has the same affect as salt on a car.
It doesn't appear that those wheels would prevent anything from getting in there. That plastic wheel center insert wouldn't cut it. There is just no real seal there.
What year and model is it? I wonder if dust caps were stock or what the deal is? -

1995 Civic VX
Here's a link for reference:

You can check and see which cars it fits, but it seems quite universal.
It seems that most auto parts stores have them for $5-7 each. And considering the high production numbers of these Hondas, they should be very easy to find. All you would need is a rubber mallet or something similar to install them.
I was worried that you might have issues when putting the alloys back on in the spring, but they are relatively low-profile so they are obviously designed to facilitate proper clearance.
