The Comprehensive Guide to Alcoa Wheels Hub Caps and Wheel Covers

The Comprehensive Guide to Alcoa Wheels Hub Caps and Wheel Covers

Alcoa Hub covers are a great way to keep your wheels cleaner by shielding them from dirt, road debris and the elements.

They can protect the lug nuts and wheel surface from rust and corrosion and dust build-up, which means the essential parts of the wheel, like wheel studs and wheel hub, stay clean which makes it easier to remove the wheel for maintenance.

Alcoa Hub covers are built to last, made from durable ABS plastic, and finished with a highly reflective chrome look to enhance the aesthetic appeal of truck and trailer wheels by adding a shiny look.

Here is a guide to available Alcoa Wheels hub covers in Australia:

You’ll see that the one-piece rear axle hub covers have attachment towers with reinforced rings that clamp directly to the lug nut.

The nut towers are tall, which means the hub covers fit on a wider range of applications, disc brakes, and other new truck trend variations, for example wide-based wheels where the stud stand out is more pronounced.

The retention nut system ensures proper fitment.

Retention nuts clamp on to the hub cover. Sit on top of the stud.

Inside the one-piece hub cover system are retention cylinders that help hold the retention nuts firmly in place.

TO INSTALL:

  1. Find a triangular pattern on the stud thread and apply hand tight the retention nuts on the 3 positions.
  2. Take your hub cover and align the internal retention cylinders to the retention nuts.
  3. Using a rubber hammer, snap the cover into place.

To remove, take the removal tool and find a notch between the hub cover system and the wheel face. Hook the removal tool over the edge of the hub cover system and pull gently.

Alcoa Wheels multi-piece hub covers come in kits for either short stud axles or long stud axles. The long stud axle kits require a minimum of 4 threads per stud.
