How to Install Wheel Trim Hubcaps

Wheel trim hubcaps are protective wheel coverings for vehicles equipped with steel, as opposed to alloy, wheels. They come in a variety of styles. The exact style you choose is completely up to you, and is based entirely on personal preference. These trim hubcaps are usually made of some type of plastic, but some hubcaps use metal components for increased durability.

Instructions

    • 1

      Orient the wheel trim hubcaps so that the retaining clips are facing the steel wheel assembly on your vehicle.

    • 2

      Align the retaining clips on the wheel trim hubcap with the inside of the wheel's rim.

    • 3

      Press the hubcap onto the wheel until the hubcap snaps onto the rim. You may need to gently pound on the outside edge of the hubcap (all the way around) until the trim is secured to the wheel.
