Help
Hey guys, I recently removed my hubcaps, because i think it looks MUCH better without them. I am 18 and do not have the money for rims, so how about some center caps to fit on the hub? I found some that look neat, but they look like they belong to the center of the stock rim instead of the steel rims. http://www.centercap...stockNumber=726 If it turns out these will not fit, does anyone know of a way to spice up steel rims? Know where to buy any other center caps? Thanks, any help is much appreciated.

look on ebay for police center caps from a lumina or impala. I believe you might have to drill into the rims or something to keep them on though. you can also get trim rings, but don't know where you buy those at

You can get trim rings almost anywhere. Canadian Tire, Walmart, any parts store.
I would get chrome lug nuts.
Centre caps are a bit harder to do. They are very hard to find used, since only the 9c1 and 9c3 came with them, and everybody wants them for their winter steelies.
What I did was get whatever looked close at the wrecker and modified them to fit my steelies. You do have to drill and tap a hole in the wheel to screw the cap on.

Well, so far i like the idea of chrome lug nuts and trim rings. Do the trim rings make it look horrible, or do they actually make it look less cheap?

doesnt look half bad jaybaum, i think i might just get me some trim rings. Did you re-paint the steels or are they just clean because they look pretty glossy.

I think the trim rings look pretty nice, I have them on my Lumina. I also threw on the chrome caps that come on the stock hubcaps.
