Thats just a snap ring to lock the cap in - just use the ones from your current wheels... just be careful when pulling them that you dont break them.

IMHO, :thumbsdown: on the Fembo (Fake Brembo) covers! Those things are usually glued. If that glue crap fails, you're gonna have a loose part in the same area as your brakes. Paint your existing calipers of you want to highlight your brakes (or, spend some wad and get the real, functional deal).
