On my 98 Civic LX, you have to remove the lug nuts before you can remove the wheel covers. Am I the only one who's run across this?

Yes. That is to prevent the original hubcaps from flying off. The lugs nuts secure the hubcap to the steel wheel. The new ones have fake lug nuts and just snap on

1998 Nissan Sentra the wheel cover has fake nuts that go over the wheel with the real nuts.

They don't come with lug nuts, probably yours will fit, but you have to ask yourself will they look nice? If you care you may want to replace them. Also some people do prefer to add a locking lug nut. These are not the most expensive wheels, still....

This steering wheel have 4 spokes. Is necessary to put the seam like in the amazon photo before to start. The leather is tight and this is OK. The labor is not easy, and the instruction are not good. The first step of the manual is OK. The holes would be aligned, this is very important and you can tie with strenght. Start the procedure like the manual maintaining the cord tension. In my case when I reach the first spoke, I did two times around the last holes of the leather before the spoke, alway maintaining the strenght. After, with streght, to proceed with the thin cord at the back of spoke and inside the leather. Is neccesary to push with power because you can loose the wire tension. I did the same procesure with two times wire rounds in the first pair of holes after the spoke, and you can continue normally. Is the same procedures for the other spokes. Id took like 1.30 hours by my inexperience and precision required, but the results was nice. My wife is very happy because the look is incredible in her old 2006 civic. I hope this instructions help you, because I had the same problem and this solution was good for me.

The Clips is what holds the wheel cap on. Extra lug nuts wouldn't even fit. Appears the clips do hold pretty tight. Thanks, Charlie B.

Patience. Start with a thin screwdriver and make sure you are at the location of a clip. Then just a little, moving from clip to clip around the wheel. It's a downside of inexpensive plastic wheel covers.

Alloy wheels aren't designed to accept wheel covers.They are only meant for steel rims.

That I do not know. When I replaced mine I had to look to see if they were fine or course. It is referring to the lug nut studs.

Hi, I had the same trouble, but fortunately I had 4-Way Lug Wrench Tire Iron (you can get this item at Walmart or any automotive store) that fit close enough to get enough torque to loosen the bolt and then used a wrench remove bolts.

The ones on the front hood and back hood have to be removed 1st with fishing line etc. The steering wheel and wheel caps go on top of existing ones. I found some more updated emblems on www.concept3performance.com/. They are better quality and have a look that better matches the 2013-2014 Kia emblem design.

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....

Did not work at first. This is what I see!!! With the lock installed ( as instructed), if you try hard enough, you can turn the whole lock assembly which will also turn (unscrew or loosen) the lug nut, then remove the spare. This can happen because the lock housing (master lock 262DAT) is too small for some nuts. There's no clearance between the lock housing and the lug nut when it's on. Of course you can tighten the lug real tight, but you can just let the air out of the tire, then loosen the whole thing, lock and nut together. What I did was grind down the length of a lug (make a short lug) to give clearance between the lug and housing. Now, once the lock is installed, and you turn the lock assembly but the nut will not turn or loosen. So far I have not lost a spare.

I have had mixed results with mine. Some times it will remove the lugnuts and some times I need to break them free and then I'll move over to the impact wrench to spin them off. If you are expecting it to remove them every time I would not bet on it. (I don't use to it to put on lugnuts, I tighten to spec with a torque wrench.)

I suggest you call the manufacturer to make sure...before you buy. I was very satisfied with these covers. I suggest you first clean and paint your wheels before you snap these covers on.

I've had mine less than a year and am now working on replacing the belt (approx. $35 including shipping) for the second time, which must be done by a technician ($99/visit). We've tried repairing ourselves. It's very hard, even to get the wheel covers off. I'm not pleased at all.

You have to remove the bumper skin and the wheel-well liners, I think. Its been several years. If you search you-tube someone will have a video showing what comes off. I wouldn't say they are "easy" to remove/install but it wasn't rocket science either. I think it took me a couple hours... if you don't include the time I spent messing around with the messed up angle adjustment boss that I received.

No it's the driver side. Pretty difficult to install yourself unless you're good at that kind of stuff. Sucks how those handles break off so easily on those altimas. After mine broke, I've been noticing other altimas with broken handles. Good luck

I have a 98 honda civic ex, and the rims are on the car. I lowered the car 2 inches front and back, and the car looks good. Tire size is 205/40r17. The one complaint I have is that the low profile tires have issues on the bumpy roads and the aluminum rims have been bent in the pot holes I hit.
