----------------------------------------------------------------
Up for sale: a set of four (4) 15" full wheel covers for 2010-2013 Ford Transit Connect vans. Attractive and look almost exactly like the OEM covers (only the center is different because it does not have the Ford logo.) If you have one of these reliable oldsters and have watched the paint flake off the original covers, you'll be interested in these replacement covers. Easy to snap right on, and I'll even show you how to properly insert the retaining ring so it clears the valve stem.
These are brand new* and were originally purchased for my 2012 Transit Connect but I was unable to use them because of a size issue that boiled down to a difference of 1/8" in the retaining ring diameter from the old covers to the new ones. That difference made it so the retaining ring was just a smidge too big to fit on my wheels. On the other hand, I've heard people complain that other branded new covers they bought for their Transit Connect fell off because the ring was just a little to small to hold them on. So, before you come to see these or to buy them, you will need to measure the diameter of the retaining ring of your existing wheel cover.
Here's what to look for (see photos for important detail):
1) if the OUTSIDE diameter of your existing ring is 14" + 5/16", these should fit just fine.
2) if the outside diameter of your existing ring is 14" + 1/4" or less, these will probably be too big.
The retaining ring is unforgiving, and my experience is that if the wheel is just a little too small (like mine are), you cannot pound the cover into submission. You'll just crack it and fail to get it in place anyway. *One of these covers does have a crack from just this problem, but I don't think it's going to affect the fit or function as long as your wheels are the right size.
If you've made it this far, done your measuring and everything lines up, please send me an email so we can meet.
Thanks for looking!
