When buying wheel trims from our store we have had a few queries on how to fit them so here is a guide incase you need something to help you along. Here is our selection of wheel trims

Before selecting your wheel trims you need to make sure you get the right size of trims. To determine the correct size of wheel you have in order to buy your trims you need to look at the tyres on your car. There will be a series of numbers ie: 165/65/14 – This means you have 14″ wheels and need 14″ wheel trims.

Fitting Instructions.

To ensure the trim is securely fitted to your vehicles wheel the retaining ring needs to be fitted to the inside of the trim, clip the retaining ring onto each of the ligs located on the trim.

Locate the tyre valve on the wheel and position the wheel trim so that the valve cap passes through one of the apertures on the wheel trim.

Press the trim firmly into the wheel ensuring that each of the lugs lock in the wheel trim, until the trim is firmly in position.

Any wheel trimthat does not fit snuggly to the wheel can be adjusted using the metal retaining ring, insert the retaining ring into the holes on the appropriate lug on the trim according to the size of your wheel.

To remove the wheel trim gently pull the trim outwards around the full circumference of the rim. Do not use excessive force. Do not use sharp objects to remove the trim as this can damage the trim and the tyre.
