Kia Sorento Wheel Center Caps

If you are like most car owners, you want your Sorento vehicle to look and function at its best when you drive. Installing new wheel center caps is one of the easiest things you can do to upgrade and improve the look of your Kia Sorento. Whether you need to replace worn out or lost wheel center caps or want to upgrade your current ones, you have a variety of options.

Wheel center caps on your SUV serve two basic purposes, which are described below:

• Protection: They cover the wheel hub and center of your Sorento’s axle to keep dirt and grime out. These things can cause unnecessary wear and tear on your vehicle.
• Aesthetics: Wheel center caps also function to cover your lug nuts and bearings in order to make your car look more refined.

It is quite common to see any Sorento model with simple designs on the wheel center caps. However, you do have many options in order to upgrade or personalize your own vehicle. Some of your options include the following:

• Non-rotating: Some SUV wheel caps are designed with a special weight on them so that no matter what direction the wheel is turned, they stay upright. This type of design is a good option if you have a logo or even an advertisement on your caps.
• Spinners: This aftermarket option allows the wheel center caps to keep turning even when the car has slowed down or come to a complete stop. Spinners are a good option if you want decorative center caps.
• Chrome: Another common aftermarket option for Sorento wheel caps is chrome finished ones. They come in a variety of options, such as ones that have the Kia logo and different shapes like domes or spikes.

To remove your Kia Sorento’s wheel center cap, you will first need to remove the wheel. Check your manufacturer’s instructions to be sure you do it properly. For most vehicle models, you will want to follow these general steps:

• Raise the car onto a jack stand. Be sure it is level.
• Loosen and remove the lugnuts with a lug wrench.
• Remove the entire wheel from the Kia vehicle.
• Remove the old wheel center cap to measure or to replace once the wheel is off of the vehicle.
