Why Pay for Expensive Wheels When You Can Get Wheel Covers?

Custom wheels are nice, aren’t they? Not only do they look fantastic, all bright and shiny, but many of them are designed to provide a lighter ride. A smoother ride.  And there is no doubt as to the kind of effect they bring. You ever see a car, any car, with glimmering rims that you know had to cost a fortune? They make an impression practically instantly. Even if the car is parked in a lot with thousands of other cars, you can’t help but stop and take a look. Yep, expensive wheels or rims sure are an enviable upgrade. They produce an image that really fills up the tires nicely.

But there is a holdup. The truth is many of these “elite” custom wheels are very expensive. Not just a little expensive, we’re talking well into the four figures type of expensive. And for some drivers, that’s no problem. They can handle that kind of price. But for many others, that is way too steep of a financial investment for them to make. Thankfully, if you are someone who has been itching to grab some of that shiny excitement for your ride, there is an alternative: Chrome wheel covers. Chrome wheel covers deliver the same level of class and glass as the big boys do but at a tiny fraction of the cost. There is also no gigantic installation fee (or shipping fee, for that matter) attached to them. All it really takes is figuring out what kind of design would look best on your vehicle and knowing your tire size.

Bully makes a huge line of chrome wheelskins for vehicles of all shapes and sizes. Bully Chrome Wheel Covers are manufactured from ABS plastic and are also triple-chrome plated. ABS plastic isn’t simply some kind of cheaply produced plastic you might think of for other applications. ABS stands for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. It is a plastic compound most commonly used for drainage pipes, vents, and more recently, for many exterior automotive accessories. What makes ABS plastic special is its toughness. ABS is more than strong enough to withstand a substantial amount of direct blunt force without so much of a hairline fracture. It also stays somewhat flexible at room temperature, so its pliability is another major plus.

The pliability factor cannot be underestimated. Wheel skins that are crafted out of ABS (as Bully Wheel Covers are) offer a pretty easy install. Since Bully Wheelskins fit right over the circumference of your wheel surface, they require little more than a snap-on installation. The fit is wheel-specific, so once it’s on, it is staying on. The only time wheel covers are not an at-home installation is if there is a weight in the way causing interference with the rim. In those instances, it is a good idea not to mess around with it and instead, to take your vehicle to a shop and let them handle it. At practically every tire center or even oil change garage, they have the tools (and experience) to move the weight safely from its disruption point. From there, the installation becomes the easy “snap-on” procedure drivers are promised.

Let’s get back to the fashion. Bully Chrome Wheel Covers come in a huge range of styles for many cars but mostly trucks. So you won’t find wheel covers with gaudy, over-the-top styling. The whole goal is to make your tires shiner, classier, and to mimic the sophisticated appearance of actual expensive chrome wheels, so it wouldn’t really look so hot rolling around on four tires featuring some kind of art experiment. No, you want the glimmer and gleam chrome dishes out. And you’ll get it, too, especially since Bully wheel skins are triple-chrome plated.

It feels good to know there are other options out there for car owners who want to get up with the same level of explosive luxury chrome wheels and rims deliver but without having to go broke in the process. The key word here is alternative. Chrome wheel covers are a worthy “alternative”, not a paltry substitute. If you choose top-quality wheel skins, you won’t be able to tell the difference between actual chrome rims and ABS wheel covers. Bully Wheel Covers are not cheap plastic hubcaps that will go dull on you after a couple of months leaving you wondering why you even bothered. Hubcaps only cover the center (or hub) of the wheel and most often, stop looking nice after a couple of winter storms. That isn’t the case with Bully. We’re talking about serious quality with a serious design. The fact that they are far very affordable is just a bonus.

So check it out for yourself. Do some investigating. “Google-image” some shots of Bully Wheel Covers and picture them on your car, truck, or SUV.
