Problem! Need Help! Wheel Cap Stolen

hi,

I have Advanti racing RS limited MASE 215/15/17 rims. However, my version is a bit different, the center cap is nicer, it is chrome instead of plastic gray.

I got a problem, recently some loser stole one of my wheel cap (I guess he is a hater of nice cars)...I wonder someone in this site is powerful enough to have the contact to advanti racing for ordring only the replacing cap...

because I am not sure if I should just buy a new rim just because the cap is missing

help would be really really appreciated.

Is there some reason you can't look up their phone number and call yourself?

obviously I tried...the sales only care if you buy the rim or not.

Otherwise I would not be here asking for help. Also, I need assistance, not sarcasm, if you don't want to help you don't have to post anything.

thanks

ROFL... OWNED..


Anyhoo... Did you try talking to the Manager? Try offering to purchase a SET of them. Are you Talking about a Center Cap? or a Lug Nut Cover? If it is a Centercap, and no one at the company will sell you a set, just buy an different set of Centercaps.

Try looking up authorized dealers of advanti rims, they might have an extra set to sell you....I remember looking for Tenzo center caps for someone, the tag for a set was about $100US.

OR you can contact ADR (aka Advanti) to ask them if they know of any authorized dealers who would sell you a set of center caps. I doubt they would sell direct, but you never know. Here's a contact form, they replied to an inquiry of mine within 24 hours:

Obviously you tried.... Ahh yes, I can read minds. I instantly inferred over the internet that you already called.
Why don't you try telling us that you already called and they didn't want to give you one. It sure would make it easier to tell that you weren't just being lazy.
Start calling dealers.

Well...because I usually answer people's question without first assuming the person is lazy or dumb. ALL people are nice here and try to help, and this is what this site suppose to be. I always help people on this site without asking more question, so they help me back as well.

Thanks for those who tried! I searched for around 20 tires stores and I finally got a contact person from a local tire store (firestone) who knows the manager of the advanti production department. He thinks he can dig out 1 center cap in taiwan warehouse for me... it was not an easy task. damn...

the price was 15$

your is silver, so it is not so bad, what do you do now? you drive with no cap on? it is funny, now I got the caps but I am so scared of losing them I don't put them on anymore.
