For all the people who will get bent out of shape because I put this on my works...this was temporary while I waited for my work caps to arrive. Its a small gag, and it worked well keeping dirt out of the hub. Don't like it, don't do it. Its cheap, easy, different. Let's leave it at that.



first, pick the the beer you want, not to drink but the color of the top. i picked up miller highlife because it's gold, and looks great.



then proceed to drink the beer/or drain it. what ever you like but DO NO open it from the top. just poke a hole in the bottom since you will get rid of that anyway. you want the lid/vent to stay closed.



after you drank it cut the bottoms out. you should be left with this:







before you cut any more, take one wheels off and see how far out the can stick out, on my wheels it went out until it began to get fatter, some wheels you will barely clear the rim of the can. this will tell you how far down to cut and how wide/narrow it needs to be to fit.



once that is done you should cut it down to size so that you have this as a finished product:







after you cut it down to size, put it back into the wheels see if it is snug. since i'm running hub centric rings i cut it to the perfect length so that the hub centric ring pushes on the beer can and keeps it sitting flush. also you will notice i cut a few groves, that makes the can be more flexible so that you can bend it to fit tighter or if it's too big the groves will help you fit into a tighter spot.



so basically try to make sure it's in there tight, and if you don't have hub centric rings because you have stock fitment wheels for the hub, then just cut it long enough for the actual hub to push up on it thus it will keep in in place.



and the final product looks like this:







you can see that the can is a bit to narrow up to thus it sticks out a bit farther, however on smaller sized center cap/hubs you will clearly have less of the can showing and more of the top only. also you see why you don't open the can, you want to keep the top intact.







enjoy!



-Ivan i know i'm not the first to do this but its something difference so here is a little how to.For all the people who will get bent out of shape because I put this on my works...this was temporary while I waited for my work caps to arrive.
