Reply to "Question for those with Coddington/American Republic Wheels"

So if I understand correctly. the Hall caps press fit in to the rims. And than the standard size logos fit with the normal size retaining  clips ?

As far as my wheel shown above the Hall cap sits right on that small inside ridge of the wheel, then I slip the cap into that spot with a little silicone on the back edge and then the snap ring goes on next to also keep the cap in place. Now with my wheels anyway, the snap ring size is almost equal to the cap diameter so in one instance when I had new tires put on I lost a cap when riding on the road somewhere. So to make the snap ring have a little more thickness I put in a very thin wire before installing the snap ring and that worked perfect. Who knows maybe that dab of silicone would have worked alone but since the ring was already there I just modded it and used it too.  In the photo below it shows the status of the wheel when the cap fell out so you can see the ring needed to be a bit thicker. My wheels may be different, but just saying that's how I got mine to work.
