The original wheel covers supplied by Winnebago are a less than
stellar product. They are a plastic product made in Taiwan and several problems
have been reported with them the least of not which resulted in the recall on the
covers on model year 2002 Rialtas. Others have reported problems with the paint
flaking off or the covers cracking or splitting.
The original covers can not be repaired if they are cracked or
split. However, it its just a matter of the paint flaking off, then with a little
fine sanding and some suitable spray paint, they can be brought back to look as
good as new.
Others have mentioned that a complete replacement set of 4 covers
could be purchased from Wal-Mart or other automotive supply stores for as little
as $29.
Others have still mentioned that they prefer to drive without
any covers. In those cases, the steel wheels should be lightly sanded and carefully
spray painted which will make them look as good as new.
