Hubby installed OEM Mudguards today. They look great & very easy installation. I just turned the wheels to install the front ones. Used floor jack to remove rear wheels. While the wheels were off, I also took the plastic wheel cover off my alloy wheels. I have "touring" so the wheel covers include all spokes on the wheel. Is there any reason not to just leave the alloy wheels exposed?
you can definitely leave them off. imo i think they look better on. i bought center caps to put in them. but, decided to put the wheel covers back on. pm me if you are interested in buying a set of center caps. 3 are new and 1 i just installed in the wheel and took it out.
