Do
you have wheel covers or wheel center caps that will match my
original factory equipment ones?
Quite a few of the styles
we offer are factory replica wheel covers. These styles often
look very similar to original equipment parts. However, we cannot
guarantee replica styles will match Exactly the original equipment
counterpart. For full wheel cover/wheel cover replicas click

I've
lost a wheel cover off my vehicle, will yours fly off?
Our wheel cover line uses
a state of the art, patented, spring steel clips and or wire
retention. This system provides the most secure retention possible.
If they are mounted properly to the wheel they will not come
off unless you need to remove them to change a tire. Note: wheel
covers and hubcaps should only be installed on painted steel
wheels for proper fit and are not designed to secure properly
to chrome plated wheels.
(TIP: ALWAYS CHECK to see
that your wheel covers are securely fastened after taking your
vehicle to a garage if your wheel had to be removed for service.)

How
do I know your wheel covers will fit my vehicle?
In 99% of the cases, wheel
covers are interchangeable among different makes and models as
long as you stay within the same tire size. In other words, our
wheel cover line will fit 99% of all vehicles on the road today.
In the majority of cases a 14" wheel cover will fit a vehicle
with 14" tires. The same is true with all other wheel sizes*.
Feel free to choose the style of wheel cover that appeals to
you from any of our "general styles" or "replicas"
within your wheel/tire size.
*However, the old adage
is "there's an exception to every rule" and in this
case the exception is a few 1980s vehicles with 13" tires/wheels.
For example, If you have
a 1980s Front Wheel Drive vehicle with 13 "wheels, you should
choose a wheel cover style that is similar to your current style**
, especially if your current style does not have simulated lug
nuts. This a safe way to go. **(assuming you had wheel covers
on the vehicle at some point)
Simulated lug nuts are
inset into the face of the wheel cover and require slightly more
clearance to fit properly. However, by far the majority of our
13" wheel covers will fit front wheel drive vehicles with
13 " wheel/tire sizes without a problem.
A few, older model front
wheel drive vehicles with 13" tires have "high crown"
wheels ( the center of the wheel protrudes beyond the wheel rim
edge.) You can easily see this if you look at your wheel. These
few vehicles need either a more convex design wheel cover or
a style without simulated lug nuts. If after examining your wheel,
you find this to be your case (13" wheel/tire sizes) either
email us your vehicle year, make, model & tire/wheel size
or just give us
a ring. We will be
happy to recommend a appropriate style to you.
For all other wheel sizes,
you can choose from any of our wheel covers within your wheel/tire
size. Fit in general has not been a problem for years. Return To Top
Can
I get "Bolt On" wheel covers for my vehicle?
Bolt on wheel covers are
available for very few vehicles. Any "bolt on style"
wheel cover on this site will list a specific make, model, and
year application. These particular styles will not fit any vehicle
other than what is stated. The majority of wheel covers in use
today (millions) use a wire retention type system like that of
our products. We have found this to be the best system overall
for wheel cover retention. We have been in the wheel cover and
hubcap business since 1976. Fly-offs are not a concern in any
climate. Proper installation is easily accomplished without tools.__

Can
I purchase any of your wheel covers with the original factory
emblems?
No. We cannot sell replicas
with original equipment trademarks. If we could, no doubt the
manufacturers of our parts would increase prices relative to
the cost of the original equipment parts. This principal applies
to all mfgs of aftermarket parts, whether they make fuel pumps
or wheel covers.
Our aftermarket wheel covers
sell for significantly less than original equipment parts. If
you want the emblem or trademark you'll have to buy an original
equipment part. If
you are interested in a OEM wheel cover please click here.__ Return

Are
your wheel covers made of metal?
Metal wheel covers are
nearly obsolete even at the original equipment level. The situation
is similar to that of metal dashboards which are now obsolete
but once were the material of choice for car makers. Our wheel
covers are made from high-tech plastics, the material of choice
for most of the worlds car makers and wheel cover manufacturers.
Today, automobile interior and exterior parts, including body
panels are being made out of plastics. Also, please be aware
that there are different grades of plastic. "Have everything"
retailers typically sell the cheapest grade cap they can buy.
Our wheel covers caps are professional grade, used and sold by
car dealers and many professionals who work for car dealers installing
wheel covers. These wheel covers feature a 2 step base coat/clear
coat finish for excellent durability, in sharp contrast to what
is often sold at have everything retail stores.
Our wheel covers will
typically provide years of trouble free service.
The only metal styles available
are RV related, some trim rings, dually
wheel liners / simulators,
baby moons, stainless
steel wire styles,
and racing disks.__ Return

What
about quality?
These important facts are
often hidden from most consumers.........
Many 'have everything retailers',
auto parts stores and cut rate wheel cover dealers are selling
wheel covers that are made out of brittle, cheap, recycled plastics
which break easily. The reason that they buy these to sell to
you is because they are cheap! We refuse to sell inferior quality
wheel covers, hubcaps and related wheel trim to our customers.
In contrast, our professional
grade, wheel covers and hubcaps, are made out of 100% virgin
plastics which have Far Better durability, but are much more
costly to produce.
Our wheel covers and hubcap
lines also have added expensive flex agents which are
not found in many wheel trim lines . These added expensive flex
agents ensure long term performance under the harshest weather
conditions. Unlike the cheap brands, our professional grade wheel
covers and hubcaps can be removed if necessary to change a tire
without damage to the hubcap or your vehicle wheel.
Additionally, unlike many
cheap knock off brands, all of our silver and dual color wheel
covers utilize a state of the art base coat / clear coat finish
system for long lasting finish durability. Base coat / clear
paint systems are also used at the OEM level.
The truth of the matter
is that there are many wheel cover and hubcap manufacturers.
Quality varies widely from one manufacturer to the next. This
is sometimes not obvious to those not in the trade as the manufacturers.
making the cheap, inferior products, often produce styles that
are knock-offs to the manufacturers making the professional
grade products. They may look similar initially, but in fact
the quality is quite different from the professional grade
wheel covers and hubcaps that we sell. Since 1976, we have only
been selling the very best quality wheel covers and hubcaps
available. We refuse to offer our customers anything less than
the best wheel trim available. See
what our customers say.
Wheel
Skins
Our wheel skins use a patented
rim clip design. The rim clips are forced between the tires outer
edge and the rims outer edge. This is very similar to how wheel
weights are attached to your rim. The attachment is very secure
and the wheel weights do not interfere with the wheel skin installation
in any way. Some of our wheel skin styles also use CAD designed
retention clips that snap into designated gaps in the wheel.
Professional grade retention is used in every wheel skin we offer.
We do not sell chinese made IMP wheel skins as other companies
do. Return To Top
Can
I choose a style of wheel cover that is different from what came
on my vehicle from the factory?
In most cases, wheel cover
styles are interchangeable among different makes and models.
Our wheel covers will fit most vehicles with steel wheels. In
the vast majority of cases, any 14" wheel cover style will
fit on any vehicle that has 14" tires and steel wheels.
The exception is Honda vehicles, which in many cases can only
use a Honda style wheel cover. However, most Honda vehicles can
use a different style wheel cover than what was mounted at the
factory, as long as the new style is also a Honda style. Return To Top
Can
I put wheel covers on my aluminum alloy wheels?
