Product Description
Kia Forte 2010-2013 Sedan Stainless Wheel Well Accent Trim WQ10810, 4 Pieces, 0.75" Wide
WQ10810 is a 0.75"-wide band of polished stainless steel for the wheel openings of the 2010-2013 Kia Forte 4-door sedan. It comes in four pieces, and the listing says "With 3M adhesive installation and black rubber gasket edging".
Sedan fitment
The fitment is the Forte sedan, 2010-2013, 4-door. No other body style or year appears. If you're not sure your Forte matches, compare its wheel openings with the photos or call 877-752-3811.
The pieces and the gasket
Four pieces, each finished with black rubber gasket edging on the side that meets the wheel opening. The record doesn't label the corners, so the photos are the guide. At 0.75", the stainless band is the width listed for this set.
Material
The four 0.75" Forte arch pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel produced in the USA, applied over the existing surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime without damaging the 2010-2013 Kia.
Arch preparation
Wash each wheel opening carefully and dry it. Look for leftover adhesive, wax or chipped paint where the trim will sit, and clear it. When a piece is ready to go on, wipe its strip with a wax-and-grease remover, then isopropyl alcohol.
Fitting a curved piece
Hold the piece against the arch with its liner on and put painter's tape at each end. Run your eye along the gasket: it should follow the opening evenly from end to end. If it does, peel the first inch of liner, press that end down and work around the curve a little at a time, pressing the gasket into line as you go. When one opening is done, fit the next one and compare the two against the photos.
Other Forte sedan parts
Two license bars are listed at 1.8125": LB10810 "Does not include Key Access" and LB10811 "Includes Key Access", so pick the one that matches your trunk lid. There's also a license plate bezel at 8.25", a rear deck accent at 1.125", a six-piece On the rocker kit at 2.5", a two-piece On the rocker strip at 1.25", pillar sets PP10810 (4) and PP10811 (6), and two window packages: WP10810, ten pieces with upper trim and pillar posts, and WP10811, four pieces of upper trim.
Care
Wait a day before the first wash. After that, mild soap and a soft cloth; keep a pressure washer nozzle away from the gasket edging. If an arch piece won't follow the opening as the photos show, leave its liner on and call 877-752-3811.
On arrival
Count the four pieces and compare each with the photos while the liners are still on. Do the job on a dry, mild day, and keep the pieces out of direct sun until each one goes on. If you're also fitting rocker or window trim from this group, treat the wheel wells as a separate job.

Installation tips: Wheel Well Accent Trim
- Unpack all 4 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.
- Seat the black rubber gasket edging evenly along the wheel opening as you press the trim on.
- 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.
