This replacement cover is engineered to fit both early and late model Type 2 wheels.

It is the ideal replacement for worn or damaged covers included in the original EMPI front mount kits.

Pro Tech Tips for Installation and Maintenance

Sunlight is Your Friend: Before attempting to install the cover, place it in direct sunlight for fifteen to twenty minutes. This warms the vinyl material, making it significantly more flexible and easier to stretch over the tire for a snug fit without risk of tearing the seams.

Keep it Dry: Always ensure the tire is completely dry before sliding the cover into place. Trapping moisture between the rubber and the vinyl can lead to unwanted odors or surface degradation over time. A clean tire also prevents dirt from grinding into the inner lining of the cover.

Regular Cleaning: To maintain the bright white finish, clean the cover regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh petroleum-based cleaners or solvents, as these can dry out the vinyl and cause premature cracking or yellowing.
