FAQs

Can I Get NDIS Funding for Wheel Covers?

If you are self-managed or plan-managed under the NDIS, we can provide an invoice to help you claim your purchase. Our wheel covers are classified as 'Assistive Technology Accessories' | Low Cost Consumable and described as spoke guards.

Your support coordinator, plan manager, or wheelchair supplier/distributor can assist you in determining your eligibility as they can also be included at the scripting stage of a new wheelchair. 

 


How Do I Measure for the Correct Size?

To determine the correct size, use a measuring tape to measure the diameter of the wheel between the hand rails.

* Measure from inside one hand/push rail to inside the other, as shown below.

* Most manual wheelchair wheels will require wheel covers between 40 cm and 50 cm.

* If your wheels are custom-sized or have power assist hubs, contact us to arrange a the correct size.

Important: Although we can use the full 'standard' wheel size in inches for production for best results please measure in centimetres like this:

 


How Do the Wheel Covers Attach to the Wheel?

Depending on what you prefer, we offer the option of either:

* FOUR Velcro tabs on the reverse side. Simply wrap the tabs around the spokes, and press them firmly together to secure the cover in place.

* EIGHT Zip/Cable Ties which we supply.  When the wheel covers are printed and cut, 8 pairs of holes are also created in the wheel covers around the outer perimeter.  This might suit your purposes over the velcro option.

If you require a specific number of either to suit your sports chair, day chair, power assist or mag wheels, email us at hello@colourmywheels.com.au and we can work with you to create exactly what you need. 

 


What Are the Wheel Covers Made Of?

Our wheel covers are proudly made from a 1.9mm 100% Australian-made,  RECYCLABLE polypropylene material. (Even the offcuts are used or returned to the source production plant!) This material is sustainable, Green Tag Certified, carbon neutral, and fully recyclable.

 

Does That Mean That They Are Water Resistant?

Yes! The material used is lightweight, highly durable, and weather-resistant, making it suitable for all weather conditions.

 


Can I Use My Own Design?

Absolutely! We offer custom design orders, which can be placed through the 'Custom Design' listing in our store.

* Send your high-quality, PRINT READY image to hello@colourmywheels.com.au.

* You must own/have purchased the design or have the necessary permissions if it is licensed or belongs to someone else.
