Lost one off my back wheel this past summer on my 6400. I replaced them with a different style that actually lets you use the wrench for the trim cap to tighten a nut attached to a spindle that connects to the wheel stud (if that makes sense). The original spindles did not have this nut, couldn't be tightened easily, and hence ended up with one coming off. When this happened, the beauty trim ring was able to flex, dragging the steel braided inflation extendors across the beauty ring, ripping through the steel braided line and working it's way into the rubber hose before I caught it when we pulled into the campground that night....could have been a flat tire very easily.
I got mine at a dealership in Nashville TN that is two doors up from the KOA at Opryland Hotel...can't recall the name of the dealership. The original studs that came on the unit aren't the best design, that's for sure.
