Our Replica
Hubcaps
are close copies of specific OEM hubcap designs, and are organized by vehicle
make and model. Our
Custom Hubcaps are listed by rim size, and our
Universal Hubcaps are grouped by similar styles. Full sets of (4) hubcaps
can be ordered through our online secure shopping cart. If you need singles or
pairs, call toll-free 888-481-5031. To
determine the right size hubcap
size for your wheels, read it off the tire.
Your standard steel
wheels
take hubcaps.
Styled steel or alloy
wheels (will not accommodate hubcaps) take
Wheelskins. For
your dual wheel vehicle or a trailer, go to our
Wheel Simulators pages. Our hubcaps are made of durable ABS plastic that
will give you years of good looks without the denting or rusting that steel
hubcaps of the past were prone to. Each hubcap presses easily onto your standard
steel wheel.
Check our pictures to ensure that your styled wheels match the
Wheelskins exactly. Count the lugs, the spokes, and the holes or slots, and make
sure they are exactly the same shape. Wheelskins fit perfectly on the rims they
are designed for, but they are not interchangeable with other styled wheels even
if they look "pretty close." Call or email if you have any question. Full sets
of (4) Wheelskins can be ordered through our secure online shopping cart. If you
need singles or pairs, call toll-free 888-481-5031 (business hours in Seattle).
Everyone loves the sparkle of chrome on their vehicles. Unfortunately, one of
the drawbacks of real chrome plated wheels, whether alloy or steel, is their
tendency to corrode when exposed to winter salt driving conditions, or even to
coastal salt air. Hence the fine print warrantee warning of chrome wheel
manufacturers: “Do not drive chrome wheels in snow!” and “Salt can deteriorate
and corrode your chrome.”
What's the story with Hubcaps versus Wheelskins?
Wheelskins
are the best kept secret in the automotive wheel fashion industry. When
installed, you can only tell the difference between Wheelskins and real chrome
rims if you know what to look for. Thousands of sets of Wheelskins are sold to
auto dealers, who mount them on new and used vehicles for sale on their lots.
Their customers are very happy they have purchased their vehicles with 'chrome
wheels' at a bargain price.
Hubcaps ('wheel covers' is an equivalent term) dress up
standard steel wheels.
Hubcaps
are completely interchangeable, any style of the proper size will fit any
standard steel wheel. But hubcaps do not fit Styled wheels.
Styled Wheels
do not have the recess around the bead that standard hubcap legs mount into, so
standard hubcaps can NOT fit any styled wheel. Therefore...
"Wheelskins"
were invented in the 1990s as a great way to put brilliant chrome covers on
styled wheels. Precision molds were designed to produce wheel covers that
perfectly match the geometry of specific styled wheels. They fit like a second
skin, hence their name. Wheelskins mount with steel or plastic clips that grab
the rim either at its outer edge or at the base of its spokes.
Impostor™ chrome Wheelskins are a snap to
install, and are easy to keep clean: simply wash with regular auto soap and
water or take it through a car wash to maintain their new appearance. Wax the
same as your car.
Wheelskins are constructed of high-impact, corrosion resistant, triple-chrome
plated ABS polymer to give your vehicle a sharp appearance for many years. ABS
has the attributes of rigidity, strength, and high resistance to salt,
chemicals, heat, cold, and impact. A major advantage to this material is that
when it gets scratched, it does not degrade further with time and exposure to
these factors. So five years hence, the scratch will look the same as it did
the first day. Whereas chromed metal, either steel or alloy, will react with
oxygen and salt, and will rust, pit, scale, or flake after it has been
scratched. There are several manufacturers of Wheelskins, the two best known are
the Impostors™ brand and the Wheelskins brand. There is only one model of
Wheelskin that matches each specific styled wheel, and that wheelskin does not
fit any other wheel.
