  • 13" rims with 16" hubcaps

    I thought this was really ingenious & creative when I saw it, 16" hubcaps on 13" steelies, what a great budget upgrade, shows what a little bit of thought can do.





    There aren't any pics of how he did it, but basically he cut all the mounting hardware off the back of the caps so they're flat, and then cable-tied them to the rims through the spokes. I'm a fan

        if youre driving along, a flat or semi-flat tyre would destroy the hubcab, and potentially make a mess of your wheel arch

          Looks cool.

          What'd they do to keep them on?

              cable ties, look closely at the 3rd pic, you can see them on every second spoke

                  Not a huge fan TBH, hubcaps are cool, but only with stretch
