I would be interested to see what the wheel looks like trimless and also trim when off. Could someone post a pic please?
Be nice to know the size would be nice if there 56mm or 60mmDon't mind them wonder if they make center caps to fit
Might reduce your efficiency though with the turbulence they create. Probably not much though.Don't mind them wonder if they make center caps to fit
hi sido good point what will happen if you call AA out to replace the wheel due to a puncture and they break or if it goes into a tyre shop who's going to pay. !!!!I don’t have this model but a lot of you seem to have broken them, are they fit for purpose? Most of us will need to remove a wheel at some point hence my question.
I wonder if one of those plastic trim removal tools, would do the job ???.When I get my car I will see if I can make a trim remover. I might sell them to all you lot out there?????
We saw our wheels on our newly delivered ZS EV. They looked awful!I would be interested to see what the wheel looks like trimless and also trim when off. Could someone post a pic please?
Hi, here's a photo of the back of mine.Quote :- "Note : If the pulling force required to remove the wheel trim cover is large, use a suitable tool to pull it out".
Okay ?.
But what type of suitable "tool" are they referring too ( metal or plastic ) and at what location are you intended to insert this so called "suitable tool" I wonder ?.
If they DO indeed recommend / recognise that a special trim tool could ( will be ) required, then why don't they include one of these removal tools in the boot ?.
The trim is held in place on the rim, by what they call "SNAP'S" on the back side of the trim itself.
How many of these "Snap's" are located on each trim ?.
If we are intended to pull evenly on the trim, in the same locations shown in picture, then we are encouraged to pull in five areas of the trim, would you not agree ?.
A picture of the rear of these trims would be extremely helpful, if anybody has one please ????.
Thank you for posting Paul !.Hi, here's a photo of the back of mine. View attachment 7895
The clips go through the slots in the alloy wheels, so there's 5 of them, plus it's also clipped in the centre hub as well! I got it off by pushing the clips out from under the car, moving it to get at every spoke! (I wanted to remove rear wheels to screw on mudflags). As others say, the wheel bolts have no locks, I think the 'security' is the difficulty getting the trims off, but that wouldn't stop a thief. Seems daft to have alloys with trims over, so levering off the trims would damage the wheels! Paul W.
I should imagine something like a plastic spatula used around the rim at each clip point should ease them off safely. When I get my car I'll give it a try.Hi, here's a photo of the back of mine. View attachment 7895

Check out on eBay there is a dealer who sells via eBay at about half that cost. Beware that the EV hub is different to the petrol version hub so be sure they know it is for the EV. it comes with insert with car jack
