Why don’t they just put a couple small roller bearings at the ends that touch the tires of the originals. That way they don’t chew at the tires could be a quick $5 fix for the original wheel cover. 1-2 small wheel/baring at the end of each part that touches the tire.
Cool idea. I wonder if they realized that any fix will result in something more costly and they didn’t want to spend any more money. Surely they could come up with a fix if they really wanted to.

I just bought these as well, but they weren’t delivered yet. Where did you get the cyber logo center cap?
I had a friend of mine do a decal cut of the logo to size since the center hub cap is small

I really don't want my mechanic to tell me it's time for new wheel cover bearings!

It's funny, you can go back to 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 and see how almost everyone thought the OEM wheel covers were the most hideous thing ever. I always somewhat liked the original OEM covers.

Now that you can't get them, everyone loves them!

Haters gotta find something to focus on!
Agree! I was just the opposite. I loved them in the beginning but have grown to like the wheels so probably won’t put anything over them even if they finally gave them to us.

In this pic, they did not bother to line up the spokes of the cover with the cutouts on the sidewalls...yuck.
don't tires end up rotating around the wheel some under torque, so lining the tires up won't really last long?

If anyone gets these 18" wheels on a non fs truck, I'll happily swap the fs 20s with you! I prefer more sidewall anyway.

Once I put on black lug nut covers and center cap I decided I like them too, but I did like the original wheel covers and presumably they are more aerodynamic and easier to clean. I hope we get something almost as good.
