carlodalessandro Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 HI Guys, Greetings from Scotland, I'm a newbie here. I recently bought 15" steel ring embellishers to brighten up the factory standard steel wheels that came with my Connect. Trouble is they don't fit. I stupidly thought that buying 15" steel rings would be a sensible fit on 15" steel wheels... There is a recess that these need to fit into? and I think I need to get 13" ones to make them fit. (I hacksawed 2/3 inches out of one of the 15" ones, and it looks like 13" is the right diameter). I have contacted the company I bought them from for advice but waiting to hear back so thought someone here might know which diameter is needed. I notice that the members 'azdamay' and 'hollowood' has successfully fitted these rings Any help greatly appreciated!!

carlodalessandro Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hi, thanks for your reply. Apologies for late response, just noticed I had a reply. Do you have a link to where you bought yours from? Might buy them from USA if I can as they don't seem to exist in Britain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Mine were from Amazon.com but I saw the identical covers in Kmart a week or so later at a few dollars cheaper. There are all sorts of cheap plastic wheel covers on Amazon, just get the kind with the ADJUSTABLE wire retainer. The adjustment works great and you will not have the falling off problems like with the originals. Some of mine had to be adjusted tighter than others on the same car. operating engineer O/O 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
