So the lugs on the hubcaps are fake, and they can not be removed. Is that correct?

Yes they are fake in a sense...but the lug has inside threads (female) and the mounting bolt holds the hubcap. You take away the hub and put the new one on. You may need to get some black tie wraps to hold the new cap to the rim securely, cause if you hit a pothole or a curb...there goes the new cap :)

Yes they are fake, they are glued on so after a season or two especially winter they may come off

When I received this wheel set it came built; I am not sure if it was by hand or machine or how I might go about determining that. They did not need to be trued, and just required installation of rim tape before they were ready to ride. I might add that I commute daily on very rough streets and these rims have been great. Very thick gauge spokes as well.

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

No! Pop old ones off pop new ones on. Just make sure the new hubs are in the lock position when installing them. Great product!

No. Just remove the auto hubs and slap on the manuals. There are some "how to" videos on You tube.

Doesn't matter how many real lug nuts the tire has because the ones on the hub caps are purely decorative. They don't connect with the real lug nuts at all. I bought the 14" version which has 5 decorative lug nuts and my actual tire has 4. I'm very happy with them!

100 % fake doesn't come apart. Solid with threads. No you can not mod it. Looks only

Not sure but they sure look Great on my MsBitchie and very reasonably priced! I left hub caps from dealorship on one side w/ new ones on other: nog a perfect match but no one else noticed!?great deal!

No,I don't think so. I use a heavy duty white zip tie that I lace through the hub cap and the wheel itself . It doesn't look bad and has kept them safe for about a year now. Good luck.

That are not really lugs, decoration only. Fits perfectly and are great. My car already looks better. Roman

Yes, they are a bit tricky to install. I didn't have any instructions, so I started at one point on the outer rim and used a rubber hammer to tap it into place. Eventually, it did snap in. A driver ran a stop sign and hit me in the hind left tire breaking to pieces the factory issued hubcap. I only used one of the four replacement hubcaps thinking that they are so fragile, I might need to replace it. It hasn't come loose in 7 months of driving on all manner of roads, but does have a crack though one place.

Highly unlikely, otherwise thieves would do the same thing.Also, it is not recommended to use more than one of these per wheel (use the lug nut complete system instead).

it was quite difficult to get them on my wheels without some damage to them. one wheel is particularly a problem ~ the cap simply won't stay on and i have had to pull over to the side of the road to retrieve it more than once. i will try to modify it somehow. i usually do my own work but once i had to have a mechanic replace the master cylinder and bleed the brakes. he removed the wheels to have more room to work. when he replaced them he refused to do the hubcaps fearing that he would do more damage because they were so difficult to put on. my guess is that the manufacture does not understand standard measurements.

Hello, With the use of an aftermarket lug kit, the hub rings should not needed (the wheels would center on the lugs not the hub ring). -Tom

Not sure...I can tell you though, that the hubcaps I received were clip on and not bolt on. They are aware of this, so hopefully this mistake won't happen again. They are nice hubcaps and lookwise, you can't tell the bolts are not real. You should be safe if you get clip ons.

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....

Yes. The "lugs" are just for show. Make sure the hubcap diameter is correct.
