I had all four hubcaps stolen off of my Mitsubishi Galant today. Why do people steal hubcaps? Anyway, replacement factory hubcaps are way too expensive, but I was looking at some replic hubcaps online instead. Has anyone ever purchased replica hubcaps? Is the quality the same as a regular hubcap? Sorry for the crosspost. >> Stay informed about: Had my hubcaps stolen today

In the long run it is usually cheaper, and obviously better looking. >> Stay informed about: Had my hubcaps stolen today

What kind of quality is it you're interested in knowing about? >> Stay informed about: Had my hubcaps stolen today

> For the same reason some punk has now stolen two (2) ram's-head hood > ornaments off my Dodge truck. Back when it was cool to steal mercedes mascots, They came out with one where the mechanism that allowed it to flex was incorperated to a switch for the alarm. I had a customer who lived in a bad part of town and we wired his to a bank teller's dye pack firing out the grill.. Refilled it three times in one month, then they left his car alone. I would have used a claymore. -- Paul Calman, Hathaway Pines, California >> Stay informed about: Had my hubcaps stolen today

Chromed plastic can't take the abuse of, flexing, temperature changes, and road hazards (Salt and sand). I bought a set of plastic caps (replica by your standard) for my winter steel wheels, they didn't even last the season before the paint and some chrome (actually vacuum deposit aluminum) started coming off. I use the steel wheels with snow (not all seasons) tires in the winter, and factory alloy in the summer. >> Stay informed about: Had my hubcaps stolen today

Check out some new wheels for your car from tirerack.com. Pep Boys may have some cheap wheels also. I would if I could not find in expensive wheel covers or a nice set of used wheels. Or search around for some cheap wheel covers so the same thieves can come back and take those too! I just had my Jeep Cherokee stolen and I got it back with the alloy wheels (with wheel locks). I was very lucky. If I had wheel covers they probably would have taken those off.
