    Aftermarket Wheel Covers - Wheel offset too high?

    This question is more technical I suppose.

    I've bought two sets of aftermarket wheel covers. The first one had a small "inward dish" that wouldn't clear the wheel studs.
    So I bought a second set that bow outward slightly. These too hit the wheel studs.

    The factory covers are basically flat and set away from the wheel itself. 2017 ES covers seem to be different in design from 14-15 mirage's. They are flatter and pushed further away from the wheels that on 14-15 models.

    So you folks that have put on aftermarket wheel covers on your 2017, what brand/style/etc did you use? Cause I can't find a set that will fit over the wheel studs due to the wheel having such a high offset. it doesn't matter, but I want either gloss black, or matte black wheel covers.

    I couldn't tell you what aftermarket covers will fit. But if you find some that are on a 15' they'll fit a 17'. The wheels are exactly the same.

    I would think that myself, but after two sets of typical aftermarket covers, and neither clearing the wheel studs, I'm hesitant to buy a 3rd set to just be disappointed again.

    Which is why I figured I'd ask on here.

    I mean, from what I understand, a wheel cover is a wheel cover, but that doesn't seem to be the case with this car.

    Do you remember what brand they were or where you got those?

    These are the ones I got, from AutoZone.

    They were about $40, and fit with no issues.
