Installing new center caps

Essentially I bought my Evo 8 missing the center caps on the MR wheels. I found: http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...productid=5685 I'm assuming these are the correct set? I know that to remove center caps you need to pull the wheels off, but if I'm just putting new ones on can I just put them on there and give them a good careful hit with a rubber mallet?

You could use the mallet approach if you want to buy a second pair. Just take the wheels off and do them correctly. You need to have needle nose pliers to pull in the wire ring so they snap in place.

No. You need a 10lb sledge-hammer for that!
