How To Choose And Install Wheel Covers

A brand new set of wheel covers can spruce up your old car, or bring a brand new look to your pride and joy. Here’s how to select and install a set yourself.

Before you walk through the doors to Supercheap Auto, take a look at your tyres to determine the rim size. You’ll find a number that looks similar to this: “one nine five, six five, r fifteen” and of these numbers, the one that follows the letter R is your rim size.
Now take a look at the style options available in your size. All wheel covers come as a full set of four.

Unpack your chosen set, and install a metal retainer ring to the back of each. Look closely at the legs on the back of the wheel cover, where you will find that one of these legs has two different slots.

Insert one end of the retaining ring into the upper slot, then position the ring inside the remaining legs. Come all the way back around and insert the other end of the ring, into the same slot you begun with.

Use a flat head screwdriver to pry away any wheel covers already fitted. Now look over your new wheel cover for a cutout which fits around the valve stem. Not all wheel covers will have this. Align the wheel cover with the valve stem - and knock it into place using a rubber mallet.

If your wheel covers go on easily by hand, they are probably too loose. To rectify this, the retention ring can be adjusted. Just move one end of the ring into the lower slot to increase the tension.

So if you’re tired of rocking a bare set of steel rims, get into Supercheap Auto - and make your car something to be proud of with a brand new set of wheel covers.

So the least resistance while putting them on means they are too loose. So more resistance is better when put the wheel covers on ?? I’m gonna go buy some today and just wanna be sure. I don’t want or need my wheel cover popping off while im driving that would be very Please answer back

The only info I needed was the only thing this video didn't show. How do you fit the metal ring? What is the trick? It looks like the ring is oversized by about 25mm. I know where it goes but I don't know how to expand all the tabs or how to hold the metal ring to put all the force needed on it to get it to fit.

I have question. Which rim is suitable to pair the rim cover on?

But both ends of the ring don’t fit, it’s too long
