Installing Aftermarket Wheel Covers Tips

A how to on installing aftermarket Wheel Covers.

I purchased these wheel replacement covers from Walmart but there are lots of other generic and aftermarket brands out there that are similar.

After I lost a few of these wheels covers, I though I share my experiences and how to do it right.

I found these just as well as the original OEM wheels covers if properly installed.

Seems like I have been having a few of these loss after the repair shop put them back incorrectly.

See video on my lessons learned.

THE RING GOES THE OTHER WAY. when it is put on how you have it the ring could damage the valve on your wheel and when you fit it the ring could touch the wheel that could make it come out of the clips. 4.30 look at it, sticks out past the clips.

@SuperBigmat

I tried both ways before. If you put it the other way, the wheel covers will fall off when you are driving. Take your pick.

@CrazyWedz looks like you dont have a clue as well. THE VALVE PART GOES TO THE FACE OF THE TRIM. IT IS LIKE THAT SO WHERE THE VALVE IS IT GOES AROUND THE VALVE AND DOES NOT TOUCH IT !!!!!!!!!!! if i am wrong why do ALL car makers have their wheel trims that way? explain that then. when you realise that you are wrong just mesage me back leting me know , ok. also looking on the video on here it looks like the ring is on top of the valve traping it

@SuperBigmat, you're wrong. Having it the OTHER way could damage the valve. That's why the raised indention is their in the first place.

Thanks for sharing this information. My wife 2004 Camry lost a wheel cover and I bought a set at Auto zone for about $26.00. next weekend I'll give it a try. You were helpful.

Get some zip ties to keep 'em in place or they will fly away on the freeway.
