• Wheel skins are vehicle accessories which are used to enhance the safety and aesthetic look of the vehicle. These wheel skins are used for cars, vans, trucks and SUVs. Wheel skins are manufactured to fit a particular vehicle brand or make and are not generic fits. Wheel skins are available for every reputed vehicle manufacturer like Chevy, Toyota, Ford, Honda and Mazda.
  
  

Replace if Necessary

• Fix the loose holes and bits on the old wheel skin before installing the new skin. Never replace the existing wheel skin if it is still in good condition. Do not remove the old skin until it falls off.
  
  

Examine Color Suitability

• Choose a wheel skin that goes with the color of the vehicle. Though this is not mandatory, adherence to the same color will enhance the look of the wheel and the vehicle. If you do not get a color similar to the factory cover, at least go for the closest one available.
  
  

Use Thick Material

• The wheel skins installed should be thick and not thin, like the ones used for windshields. Thin wheel skins can wear out easily and quickly. Silicone bathtub caulk is recommended for installation.
  
  

Poke Every Hole

• Wheel skins readily come with holes in them to enable stitching. But at times some of the holes are not big enough or the leather plugs are still in the hole. Poking all the holes before stitching helps get rid of the leather plugs if there are any.
  
  

Choose a Baseball Stitch

• The stitching of the wheel skins should be similar to a baseball stitch. The baseball stitch would look firm and also factory-made or original.
  
  

Use Gloves

• Wheel skin stitching is not enjoyable. Stitching can be time consuming and tiring. Pulling the strings tightly can put a lot of strain on the fingers. Gloves are recommended to ensure a smoother and strain-free process. Tapes and bandages can also be used.
