has anyone else had this happen to them? It wasn't extremely hot but I was driving the car relatively hard but not harder than some of you guys I'm sure. I will probably just ask Apex for another set and see if they can cover me. it seems like they should hold up a little better than that. obviously lot a *serious* problem, but slightly annoying.
I lost one of the stickers last track weekend but this past time a couple center caps deformed and fell off entirely…one popped off and got run over by another driver lol. I think I'm down to one in tact center cap after two weekends...

It always a good idea to remove your center caps when at the track to keep from adding track debris. Some clubs make it mandatory to remove them

I have two sets. They are silver, not black. If you want a set, let me know. I suggest you do without at track events. Rotors get red hot and transfer directly to the wheel... Melty times ahead.

Forgot to take mine out once for the track and they melted too. I've got a box full of center caps from the 4 sets of Apex I've got between the two cars. Let me know if you want one. I think I have that variety cap too.

maybe Apex's center cap is the main problem ... since they're a track-only wheel i'll probably just leave 'em out from now on. if i want to roll on them for a while i'll pop the OEM out of my stock wheels and throw those on. thanks again though! sorry i couldn't help unload some of your stash, lol.
