New wheel trims

[LADA]

Hi all - I want to buy new wheel trims for my caravan as one of them is badly marked from the wheelclamp but will ordinary car trims fit or do I need to source specific ones for a Fleetwood?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

i use any buy 4 at a time that gives you spares but take it of when i use the clamp .

I just bought a set of 4 from the local car spares shop for the same price as Towsure are charging for two - Caravan ripoff anyone?

I use an old carpet tile between the clamp and the wheel, its more expensive to change an alloy wheel, but this saves the damage.

Any old wheel trims should fit.

Our wheel clamp (Milenco) came with a strip of foam to stick on to the inside of the clamp to prevent this problem.

(If I can find it I may fit it one day!)

make sure that if the wheel trim is smashed that the clamp becomes slack and easy to remove.

Thanks everyone who took the time to reply.

Having looked around several websites I'll take your advice and buy a set of four - leaving two as spares. My clamp also has a soft rubber pad inside but doesn't seem to stop any damage when struggling to put it on and off so I'll also make use of the carpet tile idea - brilliant!

Thanks again - and happy caravanning folks!

I put an ad on Freecycle - so many people have sets of three wheel trims, because they've lost one from their car and had to buy a whole new set! No problem, three offers of trims, one only a few days old - so now I've got a set with a spare!

Hi

re your wheel clamp marking your trims, any diy shop sell pads to go under furniture feet to protect scuffing laminate floors.

come in different sizes just stick them to the wheel clamp in appropriate places to stop scratching.

hope this helps
