RV Wheel Simulators

RV Wheel Covers Vs Wheel Simulators

Hubcaps, wheel simulators, and wheel covers for RVs and other vehicles are similar in appearance and where they are installed.

However, there are a number of differences between RV hubcaps, wheel covers, and wheel simulators that are worth knowing. At Pacific Dualies, we want you to know exactly what you want and what we offer so that you can make informed buying decisions.

Two RV hubcaps

RV Hubcaps

  1. Strictly speaking, hubcaps on an RV or other vehicle are primarily decorative parts that cover the center part of the wheel.
  2. They may cover the lug nuts but leave the spokes visible.
  3. Originally designed to protect the spindle nut and wheel bearings from accumulating dirt, their function today is more decorative, hiding the lug nuts and spindle from sight.

Two RV wheel covers

RV Wheel Covers

  1. Similar in function and installation to hubcaps, wheel covers are used to cover the entirety of the wheel itself.
  2. With imitation spokes, wheel covers tend to look like wheels themselves.
  3. They are typically convex (bowing outward) for both front and rear wheels.
  4. These decorative parts can be snapped on or fastened with lug nuts for greater security.
  5. Wheel covers are often made from chrome.
  6. They are attractive decorative parts that may not be as resistant to corrosion as wheel simulators.

Two RV wheel simulators

RV Wheel Simulators

  1. Made from stainless steel
  2. Highly resistant to dirt, rust, and corrosion, making them a durable but attractive alternative to wheel covers and alloy wheels.
  3. Unlike wheel covers, wheel simulators mimic or simulate the shape of your wheels, which may vary depending on if you are installing them on a motorhome, a towed RV, or a truck.
  4. A simulator RV wheel cover is available in either a single or dual wheel configuration, depending on the vehicle you are installing them on. You can also find different types of RV wheel simulators with a variety of installation methods.
  5. One of the biggest advantages of RV wheel simulators is the cost. Compared to expensive stainless steel alloy wheels, RV wheel simulators provide a similar shiny look at a fraction of the cost.
