1.) How do I know what
size wheel covers I need?
Your vehicles wheel cover
size is the same as your tire size. If your vehicle takes 14"tires,
your wheel cover size is 14".
2.) 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 replicas. 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
go Here. For wheel hub center caps go Here
3.) Do you sell used wheels,
wheel covers, wheel trim or center caps?
No. We sell only NEW, first
quality wheel covers, wheel trim & center caps. We do not
sell used wheels. The condition of used product varies greatly.
What is in"good used condition" to one person (particularly
a hungry sales person) can be totally unacceptable to other people.
You can buy a brand new,
first quality, set of 4 wheel covers, wheel trim or center caps
from us often for around the same price as 1 used wheel
cover, wheel trim part or center cap.
We DO NOT sell seconds!
4.) I've lost a wheel cover
off my vehicle? Will yours fly off?
Our product line uses a state
of the art, patented, original equipment style wire retention
system. This is the same type of retention system used by car
manufacturers for 98% of all wheel covers made. 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.
Also, unlike some other cheap
brands being sold by "have everything retail stores",
our heavy duty grade product line can be removed if necessary
to change a tire without damage to the wheel cover or your vehicle
wheel.
(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.)
5.) How do I know your
product 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.
A 14" wheel cover is a 14" wheel cover as far as fit.
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 style wheel cover 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 at 1-888-234-1621. We will be happy
to recommend a appropriate style to you.
For all other wheel sizes, you can choose from any of our "general
styles" or "replicas" within your wheel/tire size.
Fit in general has not been a problem for years.
6.) Can I buy just 1 wheel
cover if that is all I need?
Yes, but we cannot guarantee
an exact match unless your original set was purchased from us.
7.) 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 been in the wheel cover business since 1976. We have found
this to be the best system overall for wheel cover retention.
Fly-offs are not a concern in any climate. Proper installation
is easily accomplished without tools.
8.) Can I purchase any
of your products with the original factory emblems or trademarks?
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 parts sell for significantly
less than original equipment parts. If you want the emblem or
trademark you'll have to buy an original equipment part. Sorry.
9.) 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 basecoat/clearcoat
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.
If you want the very best,
we have 2 styles in nylon with a outer stainless steel ring which
are tough as nails. However they are quite a bit more expensive
than the other caps we sell. http://www.autoenhance.com/alpha.html
The only metal styles available
are RV related, some trim rings, dually
wheel liners, baby moons and racing
disks.
10.) Do You have wheel
hub center caps to fit my vehicle?
We stock many styles of center caps for specific vehicle models. These
caps have specific applications for various make,model and years
which are listed in the Popup menu on the page. These center
caps are Not generic fit.
In addition to the specific
application center caps we also stock a variety of generic
fit center caps which will fit many types of wheels that
require a snap in type center cap. To determine the size needed
you will have to Measure The Diameter of the groove in your wheel
and then compare your measurement to the sizes listed
in the Popup menu on the center
cap page. This will
allow you to determine if we have a generic fit center cap that
will work for your wheel. All that we have available is shown
on the center cap page. If you want factory emblems for your
center caps please go to question
