Video tutorial

In this video, you can see how to change the appearance of the alloy wheels on your vehicle (in this case, it is an Audi RS5, but naturally, you can operate in the same way on any model). This can be particularly useful if the wheels have suffered some damage (scratches, chips) as covering them with the wrap will hide these small issues.

As shown in the video, this is a task that can be done by someone with a steady hand and patience. You need to apply the wrap over the entire wheel, adhere it with a heat gun, and then pierce the wrap at the spokes.

Then, with great care and a sharp knife, follow the contours of the wheels to remove the excess vinyl, and there you have it.
