Finding wheel size:

1) Wheel size: tire size easiest way to figure out wheel size.

example: 205/75R/16 the last set of numbers 16 tells you that you have a 16-inch wheel. Most wheels have size on the backside of the wheel which requires you to take the wheel off. We recommend using tire size to determine wheel size.(DO NOT measure wheel with a tape measure)

Description of Part numbers:

1) Part Number: Most items have engineering numbers on them, not dealer part numbers.
This is not always the same part number as a dealer may supply to identify your item.
Always match our part number listed to the number on the backside or front side of the item off of your vehicle you are looking to match.

Description of Aftermarket look-a-like and Imposter Hubcaps:
