The other day I noticed that my air pressure in my tires was low. In order to put air in the tires you have to take off the core wheel cover to get to the valve stem. When I took off one of the wheel covers it cracked. It was one of the spokes on the top. Im pretty sure there was a hairline crack before I took it off but I did not see it. Was wondering if anyone else had the same problem

Wheel covers are evil. I still have mine on since I haven’t had to mess with anything since delivery, but once they come off they’re not going back on.

They’re flimsy, they make noise, we have to worry about them popping off on the road, and if you need to add air or rotate your tires they’re a pain. All for what? 10 miles of range tops? No thanks - I don’t care that much.

Get some center caps and don’t look back.

Took mine off on day 2 or 3, and haven’t looked back. Find it SUPER annoying they have to come off just to check tire pressure. Plus, Core wheel covers look like cheap auto parts store hubcaps, IMO. Core rims look much better on their own. Just use center caps and call it good.

I actually think the Core alloy wheel looks nicer than the other one.

Funny, I still dont have my AT Wheel covers, but I want them even though I will never put them on the truck and they'll just take `up shelf space in the garage!

Mine are in the garage on a shelf too. They are difficult to reinstall.
They are inconvenient when airing up tires.
The don't look as good as the wheels.

If you need a set, I am in SW WA.

Cheers!
