All scratched up??? I don’t think so, please watch again

@@7gshark it landed upside down on concrete. There are scratches there. Maybe you can’t see them unless you get up close, but it’s scratched. But go ahead and put blue tape to protect your other 3 rims. Btw, find a new videographer

I removed my old skins yesterday and DID NOT remove the center dust caps. All I did was to remove the skins and turn them upside down and pop the center caps right off. When you try to pop the caps off like this video shows, you will scratch the living hell out of the caps and possibly the skins!

[@7gshark]

@@RobertBarone-n3w good advice thanks

[@RobertBarone-n3w]

Do not remove the center caps from the front! Remove the wheel skins completely and pop the caps off from the underside. Much easier! You will also scratch the caps and possibly the skins.

[@7gshark]

@@RobertBarone-n3w good call thanks for the additional tips

[@task5147]

Saw him get some tape to pop off the center cap (or center piece as he calls it), aww good man, he's a pro! Then see how he puts the tape and gets a screw driver... 🤦🤦🤦😒 What a n00b!! And he scratches it too 🤦 Pro tip: use the tape to actually pop off the center cap! Duct tape works better as it grips better. Cut 10" of duct tape, tape half the center cap with one end of duct tape, fold the duct tape in two as to have a handle, tape the other end onto the center cap. Then in a quick motion yank on the duct tape pulling the center cap clean off the wheel. Thumbs up of you did this 😉

[@7gshark]

Can I like and dislike your comment?? Not sure just tape would work that cap was on crazy tight. Will try next time. Thanks for the comment

[@patjaoable]

No offense but I also tried to get these off and no way just tape will pull them off

[@gjalabaster6726]

Then, after they’ve been removed a few times, they start rattling. But, they’re cheep, inexpensive to replace.

Any reason you have to take out the center caps before pressing them on? I did this previously without taking them off and they held fine..

[@7gshark]

These just fit that way. If I didn’t it would have been too proud in the middle. But you are right I had a 4 runner where I didn’t need to remove the center cap, so it most depend on the manufacturer

[@tiffanitenise]

Thank you for the video! Any suggestions on how to keep them clean. I just purchased some for a Malibu. I’m not sure what type of cleaner to use to keep them shiny.

[@7gshark]

I just use car wash soap, it's not hard to keep them clean. My only issue is they are very BRITTLE, so if you live in a cold area use caution, they can crack if you roll up on a curb or something.

Could you post the link to these skins? I have a 2021 equinox and I have the same style rims

[@7gshark]

I got these from eBay

[@rocklobster5074]

Quick question. I got some wheel covers for my Camry off eBay. I just put them on without removing the little Toyota logo on the wheel before installing them. I didn't know until after I installed them and then I went to throw the box away and the instructions fell out instructing to remove the logo before installing them. Does it make a difference functionality wise? Am I safe or do I need to take the covers off, remove the Toyota emblem on each wheel, and reinstall the covers? Edit: I've driven a little around town with my wheel covers. No issues. But idk if I should/need to have that emblem placed on the wheel covers or if I should be fine/safe as is. The emblem cap is still on the actual wheel though. It's just not on top of the covers so I'm not sure if it really matters one way or another.

[@7gshark]

Well on mine the center caps kind of snapped in. I think you are ok though I had a 4 runner with no center caps. The only issue you might have is if the center caps make your skins sit proud of rims ( kind of bending it)

[@MrRahimhosein]

Are you serious? Its just a cap. Did you think the car would blow up if you didn’t swap them over?

kind of, there not really hub caps since they go over a nice wheel, not a crappy steel one. I think you'd be suprised how many dealers are using them to "tweek" the look of some of their cars.
