As proud suppliers of top-quality Range Rover alloy wheel centre hub caps, we’re committed to ensuring our customers receive products that elevate the appearance of their vehicles and stand the test of time.
We want to get the best out of your wheel caps, so we’re giving you an extra tip to extend the life of your wheel caps, especially in environments like the UK where road salt and harsh cleaning chemicals abound.
All wheel caps, whether plastic or metal, aftermarket or genuine, will inevitably face challenges when exposed to road salt and cleaning chemicals over time. Caps with metal content (in this case, chrome-plated aluminium), like alloy wheels themselves, can suffer corrosion.
We want to share some things that can prolong the lifespan of your wheel caps before you fit them, ensuring they remain in good condition for years to come.
One such solution is applying a protective layer of lacquer before fitting the wheel caps onto your vehicle. This straightforward yet effective step adds an extra level of resilience, guarding against the corrosive effects of environmental factors and extending the longevity of your wheel caps.
Alternatively, you may consider investing in specialised products like Smartwax’s “Rim Wax”, designed specifically to shield wheel surfaces from damage caused by exposure to road salt and cleaning chemicals.
We favour Rim Wax, personally – similar products are available, of course. Products like RimWax, a car care product combining a cleaner, polish, and wax, can be applied to new wheel caps before fitment. This thin layer can act as a barrier against road salt, cleaning chemicals and environmental damage. RimWax also contains properties that repel dust and brake residue, making future cleaning and maintenance easier. Here’s their product video:
By incorporating one of these preventative measures (lacquer or wax) before you fit your wheel caps, and maybe Rim Wax or a similar product into your maintenance routine ongoing, you can enjoy the enduring beauty of your Range Rover alloy wheel centre hub covers for years to come.
Our wheel caps offer remarkable value compared to genuine Range Rover caps. The savings compared to genuine Range Rover caps (lifespan unknown) are pretty significant. At just £24.95 for a set of 4 with delivery included, ours offer fantastic value. Even if you had to replace them every year, it would still take you 7-8 years to match the price of genuine caps, which will set you back over £200 per set.
We’re committed to providing our customers with not only exceptional products but also valuable advice to maximise their longevity. By taking proactive steps such as applying lacquer or using specialised protective products, you can ensure your Range Rover alloy wheel centre covers retain their pristine appearance for as long as possible.
Our Range Rover wheel caps are affordable aftermarket alternatives to the wheel caps supplied with the new SVR/SR L460 models (part number LR173024) that are over £50 each at the main dealer. They also fit L322, all Sport, Velar and Evoque models fitted with genuine wheels.
