A. You must have the correct size of your rim, 14,15,16 or 17 inch. After determining the size most all premier hubcaps will fit any black steel rim. There are a few which are model specific, such as IWC427, specifically for the Chrysler 300c.
2) How do I determine my wheel / rim size?
A. DO NOT MEASURE RIM OR HUBCAP SIZE - A tape measure will give you the WRONG size! It will measure a little over an inch larger than the actual wheel size. Rim size is the diameter of the BEAD of the TIRE, which cannot be measured without removing the tire from the rim. All tires have a "Size Series" printed on them that contains the wheel / rim size. This series of numbers usually begins with a P (for Passenger) or LT (for Light Truck) Examples: P185/70/R16. LT225/80/R16. In this designation the two digit number following the R denotes the Rim / wheel size which is 16 inches. For more information click the link below.
A. No, all chrome wheel skins are model and year specific.
4) How do the door handles attach?
A. There is 2 sided 3M tape on the inside of the handle. Proper cleaning and prepping the handle with an adhesion promopter is very important. Additionally it is not recommended to apply in cold conditions.
5) How are the grilles, mirrors and other accessories applied?
A. Some of the grilles snap on and others have the two sided 3m tape, as do the mirrors and other items. Cleaning and prepping with an adhesion promoter and applying in warm conditions is very important.
6) Why do hubcaps come off?
A. Any number of reasons. The most common are: 1) damage from contact with a curb, 2) faulty installation, and 3) broken retainer clips or struts. Sometimes the impact from a big pothole or speed bump can knock off a hubcap. Heavier metal wheel covers come off easier than lighter plastic ones.
7) What if I need a factory hubcap only?
A. There are a large variety of factory reconditioned hubcaps available. Call for availability.
