Tapas Centrales de Rueda Para Volkswagen Jetta

Volkswagen Jetta Wheel Center Caps

Although frequently overlooked, wheel center caps play an important role in the function and aesthetics of a Volkswagen Jetta. Not only do they make your car look better and hide the lug nuts but they also protect your wheels from dirt, grime, and road debris. The type of hubcaps you purchase can impact how well your car is protected and how it looks.

How do you select wheel center caps for your Jetta?

To select the right wheel center caps or hubcaps for your Volkswagen Jetta, you will need to consider several factors. These factors include:

  • Size: It is vital that you purchase the right size hubcap. If you purchase the wrong size, it will not fit or be secure. To find out what size you need, look at your tires. The last number listed in the set of numbers is the size that you need in inches. For example, if the last number is 17, you will need 17-inch hubcaps.
  • Aftermarket or OEM: You can choose from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), which is Volkswagen in this case, or from another aftermarket brand. There are benefits to each kind. OEM products are the only kind that will feature the Volkswagen brand "VW" trademarked emblem.
  • Finish: Wheel caps for your Jetta come in a variety of different finishes. You can pick what you want based on personal preferences. Drivers most commonly choose either chrome or matte.
  • Color: While some Volkswagen Jetta owners prefer to stick with traditional silver, black, or white for their wheel cap colors, other drivers want something different and choose a bolder color like pink, red, blue, or green.
  • Style: Wheel covers come in many different styles. Some show more of the wheel while others show less. You can choose from spoke-like designs or designs that accent the lug nuts.
Can you clean wheel covers without removing them?

Unless you need to clean behind your wheel cap, you do not need to remove wheel covers from your VW for cleaning. You should clean them routinely, just like you do your cars exterior. Frequent cleaning will help them retain their color and finish. Consider the following tips when cleaning the hubcaps of your Volkswagen:

  • Use warm water and a car washing soap.
  • Spray the hubcaps with a nozzle on a hose as the added pressure will help remove dirt and grime.
  • Make sure all of the soap is rinsed off the caps.
  • Dry with a terrycloth towel.
  • Apply wax in a circular direction and then use a microfiber cloth to buff the center caps.
