Review on Alpena 58260 Carbon Wheel Cover by James Holker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits me great, looks great, needs to be fitted to YOUR wheels

They fit my car perfectly. I played around with the settings (the red thing connecting the wires) until the environment worked. I had to check and double check that the tire stem was in the right place. After they were put on, they did not come off. The overall look in semi-glossy black is beautiful. Haven't lost one since purchase (90 days or so with some rough roads and 1000 miles). If that's your taste in hubcaps, get them and take a few minutes to inspect and install them properly. Mine had to tap lightly with my hand to get the last piece flush. Not HARD, mind you. Just knock lightly. One had to be hit a little harder (it was heavier than the others, or the rim was slightly warped/dirty/etc.) and it looked like it might tear. There are no cracks yet (they have been turned on and off at least 5 times) and they are in good condition. After putting them on for the first time I went back and slapped them a few times to make sure they fit - one was slightly misaligned but probably because I didn't quite fit it. No hammers! They seem to have held up over the long term. I think the red COULD fade a bit, but that's fine in my opinion. Or maybe I just need to wash them.
