Product Description
Stainless Wheel Skin Accents for the Hummer H2, 36 Pieces, 2003-2009 (HV43019)
HV43019 is the largest kit on QAA's Hummer H2 sheet by piece count: thirty-six polished stainless pieces cataloged as a Wheel Skin, with the note "Trim accents for the wheel rims." It is listed for the 2003-2009 H2 4-door SUV and made in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel.
Trim for the rims, not a wheel cover
Unlike a hub cap or a snap-on cover, this kit is a set of individual accent pieces that apply to the wheel rims with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, directly over the existing surface. The catalog doesn't say how the thirty-six pieces are split across the wheels or where each sits on the rim, and we won't guess. The product photos show the finished look, and they are the guide to use. Above all, they show the wheel design the kit is shaped for, so compare them carefully with your own wheels.
Wheels must match
Accents cut for a wheel only fit that wheel design. If your H2 is on aftermarket wheels, or on a factory wheel that looks different from the photos, this kit may not line up. Call before ordering in that case, and we can check. The fitment row covers the Hummer H2 4-door SUV across 2003 to 2009, with no wheel or trim note on the row itself.
Install
QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Even so, wheels are a demanding surface: they get hot from braking, they're wet more often than the body, and they carry brake dust that clings. Thorough prep is the key to a good result.
- Clean each wheel with a wheel-safe soap, removing all brake dust.
- Wipe mounting areas with rubbing alcohol and let them dry completely.
- Sort the pieces by wheel against the photos.
- Dry-fit, then peel and press one piece at a time.
- Finish each wheel with firm pressure over every piece.
Plan on working one wheel at a time, and keep the vehicle parked while the adhesive bonds. The Installation tab has guidance on temperature.
Care afterward
Wash the wheels with mild soap and a soft brush. Strong acid wheel cleaners and stiff bristles are best avoided around the trim. Dry with a soft towel to keep the polish bright.
More for the H2
The H2 sheet lists twenty other parts, including HV43018, a four-piece upper rocker kit at 6.5", and HV43016, a fourteen-piece tail light ring package. Check each listing's photos and fitment.
Why so many pieces
Thirty-six pieces across a set of wheels is a lot of small parts, which is why the kit takes more time than most of the H2 list. Set aside a full session, keep the pieces in labeled groups, and don't rush the dry-fit. The result is polished stainless on every wheel, matching any other stainless that goes on the H2 later.

Installation tips: Wheel Skin
- Unpack all 36 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
