I bought these 17" plastic wheel covers. It looks like they clip on and don't use the lug nut covers to hold them on. How do I protect the lug nuts?

The covers that I purchased came with the hub cap. I believe it said in the discription that they were included.

Warranty questions would have to go to Gorilla. I've had 2 sets of their black acorn style lug nuts. On a RAM 1500 for over two years and on a 300C for just under a year. No chipping, no rust, no real wear with tire rotations and multiple removals for paint, brakes etc. These are great lug nuts both standard and wheel lock kits.

They're stickers, so no need to clip. Just wipe the spokes down before you put them on to make sure the spoke surface is relatively clean. They'll stay exactly where you place them.

You need a different size cover. When I bought this one, there were several sizes to choose from. The one I have is for a 32" wheel.

There are four plastic wheels held in place by four hex-head bolts that I guesstimate are 2 1/2 inches long. These are held in place on the inside edge by a nut. I think that trading these out for stainless steel bolts should not be a problem. Mine look like they are getting rusty, so I might be searching for some as well.

The discs have steel grippers on the backside, that are designed to be used on steel rims. Alloy rims would likely get scraped up pretty bad, if you put these on them. They might stay on, but eventually the material removed on the alloy would reduce the tension of the disc grippers. Less tension means a greater chance of losing them. Steel rims are designed for the use of wheel covers, and I'm certain most alloys are not.

Did you get any answers? I can't figure out how to put the wheels on securely.

I used a good, high quality wheel bearing grease. By the way, they're working well! I hope that helps Kevin!

When I ordered mine they didn't come with lug nuts, and I checked if they were supposed to.

There are no lug nuts, they are hub caps that fit right over the lugs on the rim, what look like lug nuts in the picture are part of the hub cap....

mine are on and covered with snow chains. suggest u buy the longest bolt that would go through the rim and weight holes, then mark the bolt where the end of the would be after the nut was put on.

They have clips that attach to the outer lip of your steel rim. I encountered a problem where one of the clips was located in the same location as a wheel balance weight. My solution was to remove the hubcap mounting clip in that location. Be aware that these are a tight fit and will require some muscle to instal as you work your way around the wheel one clip at a time.

The "lugs" are purely decorative. The wheel cover is one piece of molded plastic, and attaches to the rim via a metal band that clips to five or six tabs that protrude from the back. The wheel of your car still attaches to the axle with the usual five lugnuts.

They should fit the 16", albeit tight. They fit the 15" fine. I live where it can get windy, and have to secure each cover with a bunji cord. These are not high quality. They are better than nothing. But keep in mind: 1) canvass/cloth material that attracts dirt. 2) they do not fold/collapse very well. I did not want to invest a fortune in wheel covers. I got what I paid for, and they work for me.

Theres clips on the back side of the cap. They just get pressed onto the rim. Been working well for my truck so far.

These hubcabs just snap on over the lug nuts, I actually have security lug nuts on the wheel and they still fit over them. There is no security feature on them so they can just be pried off. They look close to the originals and have remained secure on the wheels when I have been driving on the freeway. I am very happy with them for the price. Better than just the steel wheels without any caps. Hope this helps.

Your guess is as good as mine!!! They didn't fit my 15" wheels on my G5 very good. I had to pound the hell out of them w/a rubber MALLOT and still they stuck away from the wheel by at least an inch. I spent have my time stopping my car and chasing one of those "poor excuse" for a hub cap!!! Finally after almost getting hit more times than I can count, I stopped taking in my own hand & stopped chasing my "cheap and poor excuse for hub caps" around my town"!!! So eventually I became hub capless and have
