Frequently Asked Questions
What is “Billet” aluminum?
A “billet” is a large block of solid, high-grade aluminum. All RealWheels aluminum parts are precision machined directly from these solid blocks. The parts are then hand polished and buffed to a mirror finish, and finally triple chrome plated to a jewelry-like luster. Nothing shines like RealWheels billet aluminum accessories.
Why are oversized parts so popular?
The RealWheels design team feels strongly that there is absolutely no reason to simply copy the factory parts. Our oversized parts complement the Hummer’s styling and the jewelry-like cuts and grooves that have been added increase the reflection of light and increase the appearance of depth in each piece.
Will I ever have to polish the stainless steel trim accessories?
RealWheels uses laser-cut sheets of mirror, brushed, and diamond-plate finishes of 304 stainless steel. The parts will never rust, pit corrode or lose their shine.
How are the stainless steel trim pieces attached?
A sheet of 3M automotive adhesive is applied to each sheet of stainless at our facility, even before it is laser-cut. Simply clean the area of your vehicle, prime the surface with our 3M primer stick (included with the parts), and carefully attach the stainless accessory (because they’re NOT coming off!). Rain, snow, heat, cold and even salt won’t cause these items to detach.
Can I install these accessories myself?
Yes, most of our customers are surprised at the ease of installation. RealWheels includes easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions with each order. These instructions are very detailed and include photos of each step. We also encourage all of our customers to contact us with any questions.
What if I don’t see the particular H2 product I am looking for?
The RealWheels team is your Hummer H2 experts. We currently produce more products for the H2 than any other company, and many new items are in development. If you don’t see it here, ask. It might be coming soon, and if not, we will be happy to connect you to our custom shop, where almost anything is possible.
