CCI Wheel Skins Give You the Million-Dollar Look for Less

We live in a world where even if a vehicle is modest—we want to add a certain flair. An enthusiast can run a hot rod, pickup, Jeep—you-name-it—and there’s likely a sexy product that they’re willing to shell out some serious money for. But imagine you’re a shop owner, who has to rely on reoccurring sales to keep the lights on. Chances are, the wild mods aren’t always going to cut it. Belts, hoses, spark plugs, tires, seat covers, and floor liners—the everyday needs of the daily-driven vehicles sometimes outweigh the wants of the one-off custom ride. That being said, there are some products that manage to blend a little of both worlds, offering functionality and style at an affordable price. Like, wheel skins. More specifically, CCI wheel skins.

Whether you’re a self-proclaimed car nut, a member of the regular ol’ driving public, or an actual shop owner, hear me out and you’ll see why CCI wheel skins are worth your time.

Why Wheel Skins?

Let’s face it: Vehicles are flat-out expensive. In fact, new vehicle transaction prices are up 2.5 percent from a year ago, with Kelly Blue Book reporting an average of $33,340 during June. So, for many people, this leaves little money left over for accessories. While a complete wheel and tire package sounds wonderful—for both the shop owner making the sale and the car owner looking to improve performance or style—a large portion of shoppers simply can’t afford to pull the trigger… at least not right away. Besides, plenty of people enjoy a factory ride (surprising, we know) and simply can’t justify the expense.

At the end of the day, most consumers are opting for a vanilla set of all-weathers during routine servicing. But just because we live in a world where social media forces us to constantly see how lavishly the other half lives, while we toil away as an army of Joe Shmos and Plain Janes, that doesn’t mean we can’t mimic the look, right? Besides, ‘boring old vanilla’ is delicious—and serves as an excellent base for some of the wilder flavors.

Fake it till you make it, baby.

This is essentially what wheel skins allow you to do. They give you the freedom to transform your ride, express your personal style, and do so on a whim—for an incredibly affordable price.

Installing in—literally—seconds and available in an insanely wide array of styles, it’s like quality fast fashion for your tires.

So, Why CCI Wheel Skins?

Coast-to-Coast International (CCI) is an industry-leading auto restyling and wheel accessories manufacturer. The company has been in the game since 1990, and has a robust catalog that includes wheel skins, grille overlays, door handles, mirror covers, fender trim, and more. (Meaning you can do more than just “mimic” the look—you can master the whole style.) In fact, the company boasts over 700 available part numbers and vehicle application combos, making upgrading a vehicle’s appearance incredibly easy and customizable.

As it pertains to wheel skins specifically, CCI’s Impostor® Series is where you want to turn your attention. Constructed of durable automotive-grade ABS, CCI wheel skins are designed to match the exact style of the wheel’s OEM face, and simply pop on thanks to a snap system that requires little more than lining the skin up with the valve stem and applying a balanced amount of pressure. Easy to install, easy to maintain, and easy on the wallet, these skins instantly add an aftermarket look to any factory wheel design.

In addition to being affordable, CCI wheel skins are impressively well-made. While “quick, easy, & cheap” usually translates to “crap” in today’s world—that’s not the case with CCI. These items are well-constructed, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant, with a competitive warranty to back them up.

Also, let’s not forget about covering up warn or damaged wheels.

A lot of people love the look of factory wheels and who can blame them? Some of my personal favorite wheel designs are actually the ones that come factory on RAM and Dodge vehicles. But when time takes its toll, the wheels can be pitted up, sporting dings and scratches that elbow grease isn’t going to get rid of. While OE-replacement wheels can be hard to find (and expensive!) a wheel skin just pops over the top and you’re back to looking as good as new.
