You should be able to twist it.... Mine isn't centered. The black parts higher on one side but I'm afraid to take it off lol

When i put mine on I used my mini maglite to flex it over the wheel, as I did it in my truck in the Walmart parking lot. I bought a nice leather one that's held up great for about 10 months now.

She held it on the top and i stretched it over the bottom. Did it in the parking lot (I hope Tyler aka rigrat doesn't see the last couple posts by me)

Same here, I tore my first one wrestling with it. Bought one off amazon, although a real pain getting it on, it didn't rip and looks good a year later.

wheelskins.com - available on eBay - easy to install, and looks like a million bucks when it's on - especially if you color-match your interior or accent trim. Can't say I'm a fan of the slip-ons - look a bit cheap.

Heat the cover with an hair dryer and it will stretch and make your life easier. Some even suggest leaving the cover in the sun for a hour.
