I just purchased a set of the M6 time attacks from trinity. First, let me say that Joe and Nerwyll have been very helpful.
I have 2 questions.
1. I got the carbon fiber center caps for the wheels, but for the life of me i cannot get them to go in. Joe told me that he sent me the correct ones and that i have to kind of "pop" them in with my palm. Does anyone have these wheels with the aftermarket caps, and if so HOW DO I GET THEM IN?
2. What is the best way to wash them. I have had chrome wheels in the past and was told not to use wheel cleaners. Can i use any old wheels cleaning product on these all blask wheels?
As always thanks for the feedback!

Big rubber hammer mate 
Get some washing up liquid and put around the hole, then your SMALL rubber hammer and gently ease them in
If that doesnt work, remove the washing up liquid and fetch a bigger hammer, and smash fek out of them till they "pop" in...........
