Discover Top Hubcaps - Enhance Your Ride at Winparts

Which wheel trims?

When you want to purchase hub caps, there are a number of points you can pay attention to. First of all, you need to know which wheel covers fit on your car rims. Also, you need to check whether the caps fit on your rims at all. Does your car have black or grey steel rims? Then you can easily place hub caps on them. However, does your car have alloy wheels? Then you cannot place wheel covers on them.

Next, you will have to look at the inch size of your rims. You can find the inch size on the side of your car tyres. On the tyre is a code such as 180/50 R15. The number after the R is the inch size, so in this case, you need 15-inch wheel trims. Select the correct inch size on this page, now you can see all the trims fit for your car. But pay attention, the size of your winter tyres may differ from your summer tyres and vice versa.

Placing wheel trims

Placing wheel trims is very easy. In most cases, you can easily click the car trims on the car rims. The wheel trims have mounting clips, which you can press in the wheel. Do you hear a click? Then the car trims are stuck. However, there are also hub caps that must be mounted using a ring. You place this in the wheel cover. Then place the hub cap with the valve recess on the rims. Now push and check if the trim is properly secured.

After you placed the car trims, it is important to maintain them. To maintain your hub caps, it is best to use a sponge or soft cleaning cloth. Also, a mild tyre cleaner is recommended. Corrosive or abrasive agents can cause damages to the wheel trims.

Hubcaps vs. wheel trims

Although we use both words interchangeably, there is in fact a difference. The difference between a wheel trim and a hubcap is how much of the wheel?s surface they actually cover. A wheel trim is basically an accessory that covers the entire diameter of the wheel rim. The hubcap only covers the center portion of the rim, concealing the lug nuts only.
