Makes my ratchet 2009 Toyota Yaris beautiful...pictures below LOL
This came 2 days ago and I installed it yesterday. Took about 5 minutes for me to figure out how to place the metal round rims. The instructions aren't very helpful.#protip: insert 1 end of the metal rim first into 1 of the holes in the plastic prong. Then insert the other end (on the direct opposite side) into the hole on that side of the plastic prong. You want about half of the metal rim to be on the outside of the plastic prongs. Then you will apply some pressure and place (slowly) each point of the metal rim by lifting it slightly to move it into the inside of the plastic prongs. Make sure the metal rim sits securely above the slightly raised plastic ridge under each plastic prong.Honestly, I don't mind the "terrible" paint job that most reviews on here pointed out. Who is going to be THAT close to my tires looking at the bits??? 😂 Far away, it looks really nice (see pictures). It actually looks expensive quality & has a sporty feel to it. I'm am quite impressed, and so is my father! These popped right into the tires, no issues at all! Night and day fit difference from the cheaper Walmart ones (~$26) I bought a few years ago, which broke after 1 oil change & tire rotation. They never fitted correctly and I had to duct tape 1 point of each hubcap to the actual wheel to keep it intact. #ratchet 😂😂 😂 These ones (15 inches) bought from Amazon fit like a nice glove, and so far so good! I'll come back and update the review in 6-12 months after more driving time. I will consider buying another set for back-up, if these last past half year mark.*Edited 05/26/2023: I couldn’t wait 6 months before I update my review. By now, I have gone through 1 oil change/tire rotation and 10+ car washes. The hubcaps are still intact, sturdy as ever as the first date I installed them. Super impressed! My father is very critical of ever buying non-OEM parts, so he was going to tease me about not buying Toyota hubcaps. He has been giving me compliments about these “generic” sporty-looking hubcaps. I will definitely buy another set as back up in case they stop manufacturing these. LOL!***Edited 10/29/2023: Soooo after like 30+ carwashes, 1 of them finally popped off and I lost it some time last week.😂 Not bad quality, I don't regret buying them and will still rate them 5-star. 2 days ago, I replaced all 4 of my tires and self-removed the 3 hubcaps still intact on the wheels (can't trust those guys to be too heavy-handed and break the hubcaps, which had happened a couple of times to me in the past before so I've learned my lesson). The 3 remaining hubcaps I have are still as sturdy as the first day I put them on. Goodness I bought a back-up set so now I can have spares to replace. 🤪🥴**

Great product for the price!
Great quality for the price! They fit perfectly on my Honda Fit and were super easy to attach. I was worried about them looking cheap. But the black is a really nice contrast and looks great.

Looks great on my Impreza, very easy to install
These hubcaps look so nice on my car, a real upgrade from the peeling stock hubcaps my car had.They were very easy to install, didn't even need tools. There is a video link included to watch, which directs to use a screwdriver to gently pop out the old hubcaps and a rubber mallet to install the new ones, but really all I had to do was give the old caps a good pull and they popped right out. I was able to firmly snap the new ones into place by just pushing them in by hand, and they are very securely in place.All in all took about eight minutes to swap them out and it looks fantastic! We'll see how the finish holds up after a few winters.

Worth the money to dress up winter steel wheels
This is my wife’s car. We live at 9200 feet in the mountains and she is more comfortable with dedicated snow tires on her car in winter time. I had 17” snow tires from previous Subaru Outback. The new one came with 18” wheels. It was cheaper to buy 17” steel wheels than it would have been to buy a new set of 18” snow tires and it makes changing summer / winter tires much easier because the tires don’t have to be taken on and off the factory wheels.The plastic hubcaps / wheel covers appear to be good at what they are intended for. They were easy to install. I had to adjust to medium size by moving wire as illustrated in the diagram in listing. I had to open phone to find the order and to figure out which holes to place the metal retention ring in after the default setting was too lose. The shipment should include a paper copy of the reference diagram. Not a big deal, but including it should not be a big deal either and would have saved me a couple minutes.The plastic is very lightweight and the painted silver finish scratched easy. I used a wood block and hammer to tap the 1st one in place because I didn’t have a rubber mallet. Even the wood scratched paint where it touched the finish. Doesn’t look bad but was surprised how easy it scratched. I installed the other ones using the palm of my hand and a few good whacks around the outer edge.They look better that plan steel wheels. Have driven with around a little in snow and rough roads and they are secure. We will see how well they hold up after a winter of snow, ice, and dirt roads. I will update review after a season of use. Happy with purchase.

Instant Premium Look!
These wheel cover will automatically bring an instant premium look to any vehicle. Great quality material. I tied it all in with plastic wheel caps that i purchased on eBay for a factory stock look. Very easy to bond with JB Weld plastic weld from another reviewer here and it worked great. These wheel covers are a slim fraction of the cost for actual alloy steel wheels and tires separately that would have cost an easy $2K! Highly recommended.

Worth it!
1. Check your RR on your tires to make sure this works for you. If it says RR15 then that means 15" hubcaps to purchase2. Watch the Video product reviews for this. It will show how to attach the wire in the hubcap to make it ready for installation on the car (attach the cut ends of the wire into the holes on the hubcap first, then snap the wire on the inside of the hooked sections).3. Install each hubcap starting with the air valve section and press firmly working your way around until it finally snaps in.This changed my car appearance immediately! I wish I would've spray painted my wheels black before installing the hubcaps, but that's something to do in the future. My old hubcaps were causing a squeeking, rubber sound that I would've never thought possible by hubcaps and now it's gone! You won't regret buying this. Something to note, if all hubcaps fit and snap in on all your tires but you have trouble with one, just take your time and don't try to buy a larger hubcap just keep being patient with it and it will eventually snap in :)
