New Wheel Cover Design PRO or CON

[Jack27]

Completely disagree. The wheel covers make the look of the truck. Without them it looks dinky. I have a service appt. after complaining for 9 months and finally they are going to install them. Then Dura-dressing for the tires and covers. Gonna look great and stay shiny for years.

To each there own, if you want a second set just let me know mine will go for cheap when they come ?.

I eagerly waited 8 months for the wheel covers and I love the way they look on the truck.
I wanted to love everything about them but…

Yes they do make more noise than without them on and it may not be lug nuts (not a bad idea to check just in case though)?. Some people might not even notice but the “just turn up the music” comment is really old. Not everyone buys a car so they can listen to music to drown out noise.

After doing subsequent road tests with them on and off I found out they also exacerbate the driver side door vibration problem that I am having. And no, it is not the placement of the windshield wiper because I’ve tested that as well.

After all the excitement of getting them and wanting to love them, I have taken them off and have gone to the center hub covers and will have to be happy with those. I still prefer the look of the wheel covers though.

I’ve not experienced any of that about 3 months so you’ve got something going on

I like the way they look - but they did make creaking noises at low speed. Also eliminate worrying about brake dust.

I took the car in yesterday de y go a service center and they put some fuzzy tape between the inner and outer wheel pieces and the creaking is gone!

Do you mind taking a picture of where they put the tape? I would really appreciate it!!

Was your creaking noise like a rattling noise inside the cabin when you move the steering wheel left or right?

They are atrocious.

They are hideous. They are hubcaps on a $100k+ vehicle. You have to by a very low end trim civic to get hubcaps. The nicer the car, the more rotor and caliper you should see.

They aren't hubcaps. They're wheel covers. For a given wheel design, the most "rotor and caliper you [will] see" is when there is wheel cover installed.

So, you should never install wheel covers on your $100k+ vehicle. To paraphrase some guy's motto: "The best wheel cover is no wheel cover"....

I like my Cybertruck wheel covers and I also like my aftermarket, inexpensive hub caps. These hub caps. They cover absolutely none of the tiny bit of rotor and caliper you can see through the wheel.
