Installation and Maintenance Guide

Installation simplicity is at the heart of our design philosophy. To install the 22.5" wheel covers, you'll need basic tools and a bit of time. 

Preparation:
Begin by ensuring the vehicle is parked on a flat, stable surface and the handbrake is engaged.
Clean the wheel thoroughly. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water to remove any dirt, grime, or debris. Dry the wheel completely before proceeding.

Unpacking the Wheel Cover:
Carefully unpack the stainless steel wheel cover. Handle it with care to avoid scratches or dents.
Inspect the cover for any damage or defects before installation.

Positioning the Cover:
Gently place the wheel cover against the wheel, ensuring that it aligns correctly. The cover should sit evenly around the rim without forcing or bending it.
For covers with a specific orientation (like those with logos or patterns), make sure they are correctly aligned.

Securing the Cover:
Once the cover is in place, use the provided fasteners to secure it to the wheel. Start by loosely attaching all the fasteners.
Gradually tighten each fastener in a cross pattern, similar to tightening lug nuts. This ensures even pressure and prevents warping.
Be careful not to over-tighten the fasteners, as this could damage the cover or the wheel.

Final Inspection:
After all the fasteners are tightened, give the wheel cover a gentle tug to ensure it is securely attached and will not come loose during travel.
Check for any gaps or misalignments and adjust as necessary.

Post-Installation Check:
After your first drive with the new covers, it's advisable to check the fasteners again to ensure they haven’t loosened due to vibrations.

Maintenance is just as straightforward. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water is sufficient to maintain the cover's shine. Avoid using abrasive materials that can scratch the stainless steel surface. For areas with harsh weather conditions, a periodic check on the fasteners' integrity is advisable to prevent loosening or corrosion.
