He goes into telling us how the tire shops hate the bolt on wheel covers because they are such a pain and how the pop on ones are so much better and easier. That the ones that complain about them are the ones that don't know how to put them on.. Huh Yeah whatever meanwhile there's a guy in one of the bays pounding on you guessed it a wheel cover , so I came back with "like that guy"

Mine are bolt-ons. I never considered the pop-on type. They were easy to install. I don't know why a tire shop would have a problem with them. If you're taking a tire off, you take the lug nuts off, and off comes the wheel cover.

I know my thoughts too , he acted like it was some big deal !!
Maybe some are ? These seem simple enough ,,,, unscrew two retaining screws, set center cap aside , loosen/remove the 2-4 lug nuts that hold the wheel cover on set aside , remove remaining 4-6 lug nuts and remove wheel ??

Ok look at it from a tech view, he has to look at the wheel and figure out what is holding the wheel cover on since he has been trying to pry the wheel cover off with a long screw driver or tire iron and it ain't budging just bending !!
Yeah so I guess they would hate the bolt on wheel covers. ;)

As for the pop on ones , we have all seen them on vehicles going down the road ! NOT centered and and they look egg shaped .
Have no idea if that would cause any imbalance ? But some of those wheel covers add up to lbs NOT oz's and spinning at what RPM ? would think might cause some kind of vibration ??
