i'd like to know the name of what i call "wheel covers" not the hubcaps, but the cloth cover that usually comes with new wheels. its usually white & goes over the lips of the wheels to protect the face from scratches & dust. can someone please tell me where i can purchase some. thanks in advance.

 

The term "wheel covers" usually refers to hard plastic covers that fit over steel wheels and makes them look sort of kind of like alloy wheels. Some Honda models have them as factory equipment, and they're commonly used with winter tires mounted on steelies.

It sounds like you're looking for something else...

 

yea, what Im looking for is basically a piece of cloth that wraps around the wheel. I've seen it come with newly ordered wheels, so that when the wheels aren't in use it won't collect dust.

 

I think he's referring to the covers that usually come on Volk or Yokohama wheels.

If you buy a set of these wheels brand new, these covers come with the wheels. I don't know if they're available for purchase separately.

Your best bet is to find somebody that has these covers and aren't using them and are willing to part with them.

 

maybe something like this?

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT!!

 

thanks, if i cant source the kinds i want then these will do just fine.

 

actually the ones on tire rack only fit 22's

 

You're kidding, right?

The Tire Totes sold by Tire Rack are expandable and can fit TIRES anywhere from 22" to 31" in overall diameter, which includes virtually all tires sold for Honda and Acura automobiles. That measurement refers to the outer diameter of the TIRE, not the diameter of the WHEEL.

 

The totes that Tirerack sells were meant for wheel and tire sets.

The cloth covers that you're looking for are only meant for wheels only with no tires mounted.

Do you have a set of wheels lying around with no tires mounted?

 

whoops, i was reading it real fast.

 

i have a set of wheels with tires mounted. so will these do? i'm far from a wheel expert & i'll be the first to admit i don't know the first thing when it comes to measurements.

 

The answer is almost certainly yes. That range of tire diameters goes pretty much all the way from little tires on older Honda cars to big tires on newer Honda SUVs.

 

well thank you. pardon my ignorance, i just didn't want to purchase the wrong things. i'll order these right now.
