It's hard to see the black steel rim at the bottom.

Hub caps? May be we should have tech tell drivers to remove those. I can imaging one of those flying off and chasing down a corner worker }:) Hope Mako is there to capture the moment.

I was just thinking the same thing as I read the word hub cap, Its not as if the are difficult to R&R.
Snap-on hubcaps are supposed to be removed and should be verified at tech. Hubcaps that are bolted on along with the lugnuts (like this one, if Michael is correct) are OK AFAIK.

I don't know...those look like snap-on caps with lug nut covers. I'm thinking I saw that car go thru TECH. I believe it was when that "other" new guy Davin was working TECH. Probably missed it while he was eating that Cal-Poly triple cheeseburger. }:)

Those Honda Civic hubcaps are held on by the lugnuts. [/quote]
No kidding. Michael, Michael, Michael. It was a joke. I'm waiting for Davin to see my post, he he.
Well, just to clarify, on Sunday I told the guys to stand back & let me be the guy that checks the wheels ( Dirty work in other words because I brought gloves this time for a change ) & I never saw any hub caps come through, But I was never told about either sort of hub cap & am glad its come up being I hope be a tech guy for years to come.
I believe that was a ladies' school car, and being that I didn't work tech on saturday, I am free and clear nonetheless! Thankfully nobody's found anything that I let slip by accidentally on Sunday... Yet. Just don't look too closely at too many of Mako's pictures.
