Hello -
Quick update. All four black covers are installed and working like a charm. I got the ultimate compliment a week ago. A 10 year-old kid on a skateboard told me they were cool. Therefore by extenstion I am also "
" . In addition, I can tell that they attract attention on the roads because I see other drivers looking down at my tires.
There is one thing I notice. It's hard to describe, but the circular edge doesn't actually touch the side of the wheel. It is being held up by the circular hole that used to be occupied by the centercap. When it's really quiet outside, I can hear the plastic tapping against the wheel. Whenever I inspect the covers they are solid. But I still have a plan for this too. I have some black door impact trim that I am going to cut into little 1/2" bits. I will install them at 3 points along the edge of the cover (because 3 points will always be "level" against the wheel). This should reduce and/or cancel the flexing.
