Alpena VR Carbon Vehicle Wheel Covers, Premium European-Made Rim Covers with 3-Step Retention System, Durable Hub Caps Fits Most Steel Wheels, Set of 4, 16 inch

I bought a set of these for my Corolla. I got side-tracked when installing them and lost a couple of the little clips used in mounting them. I wrote to the company (Alpena) and they were very helpful in replacing them. I will do business with this company anytime I can going forward.

Very simple installation, the instructional video is very straight forward. They look great on my 03 Impala!

Nicer than expected

Had these installed on 2013 Ford Explorer after the lug nuts swelled (apparently it's a thing). The cost of these plus generic lug nuts was actually less than replacing the factory OEM lug nuts that might also swell over time.Only gripe is one of the clips broke when I had new tires installed. Crossing my fingers and so far none of them have popped off yet.

I love these ! I got them for my 2015 Nissan Rouge and they look so amazing. I used the highest tension and I have 17ins. Make sure you snap all the tabs in and the last tab by the air valve should be the last you snap in. I found this to be the easiest way to install them. Wasn’t difficult at all.

I am thoroughly pleased with this product. My old OEM hubcabs were getting old and faded, and looked too staid. These Alpena VR Gun metal gray cabs are worth every penny. In person they look every bit as good as you see on the site here. In terms of quality, they are studier than anything else I researched. The finish is immaculate, sharp, and metallic looking with small flakes. The 'carbon-fiber' look is spot-on and indeed, it has the feel of it as well. These are less silver than other standard hubcaps out there and so they provide a unique look from these and the black Alpena, if the black is too dark for your tastes. The three option ring adjustment tightness and the two option depth adjustment, makes it possible to, with a little testing and care, to always get a tight, secure fit. I just took my time and tested the right combination, while also looking at my old ones to help make sure I set the right depth for the ring. The V was not black, however, even though the photo here and those on the box they came in showed them as black. The 'V' of the VR logo on them is actually metallic silver in color- and a shade or two lighter than the rest of the cap's gun metal color, so it does stand out, but not as much as the black would, so I like it even better. Yes, it would be nice if the steel wheel could be covered more, but this would change the design/shape. I only wish they recessed inward a but more, as they do, as its shape, as you go toward the center, goes outward some. It they were more flat, I would be perfectly please. Nonetheless, they are awesome, great quality, with a nice finish and secured well (always follow the install instructions carefully). If they came cracked, they at the least, the shipper likely handled then poorly, had some other box box fall on them in the truck. Mine arrived in spotless condition. And, they came many weeks early with standard shipment. I would definitely buy them again- no hesitation. When my car dies, I will keep the Alpena's, and mount them on the wall in my garage. They look and feel that good!

I wasn’t anticipating on replacing my old, scratched up, winter-weather worn wheel covers for a while... but then it happened: the front driver side cover popped out as I was driving on the highway. Now my OCD is *really* bugging me to replace it.And so I did. Wanted a different, sleeker look for the Toyrolla. Can’t go wrong with carbon fiber, right?Then I *had* to get the car washed because the wheel covers were cleaner than the vehicle itself! Then I *had* to get some wheel cleaner and tire shine because the wheel covers were shinier than the tires! Good thing I remembered to take before and after photos.These were very simple and easy to install. These wheel cover kits have the same, basic instructions. Mounting rings are connected (in this kit, it’s with a red connector with 3 holes - I chose the middle one ). Ring is then popped into several tabs with two setting on the inside on the cover (I chose the lower/inner option for the tightest fit) and orientating the gap for the stem with the bump facing away (making a circle or oval shape). Take the entire cover and with the ring/tabs facing the tire, aligning the stem gap first, then gently pushing the cover into the wheel, and it helps to tap it in on alternating sides. There should be a audible “pop” with the fitting. Some people like to use a rubber mallet. I use my shoe and (softly) kick it in all around. I did purchase electrical tape in the event the rings needed a better grip, but I didn’t need it for this particular set. It should be snug with a bit of wiggle room for expansion purposes.So far, these puppies have stayed on after a powerful touchless car wash with wheel scrubbing and some pretty rigorous highway trips with bumps and potholes (sorry car!). I’m hoping the darker color stands up to normal wear and tear much better.

Be careful not being too forecfull installing these! on one of them, one of the plastic clips broke off as I was installing it and putting it on the wheel. It is still holding on my wheel after a couple days of driving it, but is obviously looser than the other ones, and it worries me that it will come off and hit someone else's car while I'm driving down the road and hit a bump or something. I contacted the company that sells these directly to see if they could send me a replacement for just one wheel and they told me to deal with Amazon and that they could not help me. Long story short, I would have to buy an entire set of 4 again to fix this issue. I'm not very pleased at all with the customer service I recieved after buying these, however they do look pretty sweet on my car, not going to lie.
