Back in 2017 we purchased a new Camaro SS with these wheel liners, and I thought the same thing!I have the cloth like ones on my new ‘23. I was kinda scratching my head, wondering aren’t these going to be a pain to keep clean?
First time I had ever saw them and didn't think they were a good idea.
But after 6 years and approx 35,000 miles they still look new.
They are very easy to clean, and hold up really well.
My 2019 Sierra 2500HD also has them. Same deal, still looking new after 3 years and 30,000 miles.
