Just received my center caps which came with no instructions so I have no idea what the included little packet is for....is it glue used for install? Is it really needed?.... odd
Also wondering if C5 wheel armor is safe to use on these or would it damage or discolor the plastic colored portion of cap.
Tia... searching the net came up empty which I thought was odd

Guess u didn’t see it in my post.... no instructions came with them which is why I thought i’d ask y’all here....
So, I did read it, but I also don’t understand why you said that when there seems to be instructions, literally, under the box. ??‍♂

Yea, Instructions for C5, not for the apparent glue pack that came with caps

No o ring.... opened 1 up & it’s glue.
Smells like revell modeling glue I used as a kid building models.
As much as these cost & as long as it took to arrive, I’ll use the glue so they don’t pop off

So far how are the center caps holding? I'm also debating if I should get center caps for my Advan as well.

Holding fine! Applied glue around clip edges with a toothpick, then tapped firmly in place with a rubber mallet- they r a tight fit & don’t sit flush until u tap them down really good. Make sure your happy with the positioning of the cap lettering before tapping down too cuz they won’t budge after beginning.
I would get the caps you want but make sure to look at all the colors & styles. I went flush then changed it to the slightly raised red caps before they arrived.
Glad I was able too
