StatiCap has introduced a center cap for alloy wheels that enables drivers to display their vehicle logo or graphic of choice on the vehicle’s wheel center cap, upright and static, whether the vehicle is parked or racing down a highway.
StatiCap operates on simple principles of physics and mechanics that keep the wheel center cap in a fixed position, regardless of the speed the wheels are rotating. This simplicity makes StatiCap far more effective than other technologies, such as non-rotating rims.
Announced the SEMA Show 2012 in Las Vegas, StatiCap can be installed in seconds. Customers will receive a specially designed tool enclosed with the set of four StatiCaps. A vehicle’s current center cap can easily be removed and replaced with the StatiCap.
Each StatiCap is designed with European craftsmanship, with its components produced in England, Italy and Spain. The cap carries a one-year warranty.
StatiCap will initially offer its product to owners of BMW vehicles, who can select from among more than two dozen logos, flags, sporting graphics and other images. Soon, StatiCap will extend its offering to luxury vehicles of additional automakers. StatiCap is also continuously pursuing additional technologies that can be offered to automotive enthusiasts and luxury connoisseurs who are seeking ways to set their prized vehicles apart from others on the road.
A set of four caps, including the removal tool costs $300-$350 (U.S.) via the company’s website: www.staticap.com.
