The cheap hubcap thread

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I found some inexpensive 17" hubcaps for the steelie rims and winter tires, not too bad looking! Seem to be very decent quality too, got 'em on sale at Amazon:

Seems as you get into larger wheel sizes, that there are less options for hubcaps? Maybe post up what you found and where?

I think they look fine! Many love the steelie's but i've never been a fan of them

Interesting, never would have thought about hubcaps. They look great to me, did you paint the wheels black? Got any side shots?

Nice. Is 100 bucks cheap? I’m just wondering cuz for my winters i got a set of kijiji alloys for 300 bucks… so by the time you buy a set of steelies and put these hub caps on them… but anyways. It looks fine and im glad youre happy!

Hes in canada. Our steelies basically always come black.

Paid $86 Cdn. Yes, that's cheap. I'm not a fan of using alloys in winter - they use a lot of road salt here in Winterpeg, mighty hard on vehicles... I actually spray and wipe the steel wheels down with WD-40 before putting 'em on. And yes, they came black, didn't paint 'em.

Those look decent. Did you consider just adding polished SS trim rings? That's a nice look for the steelies. I had a Ranger years ago (2004 maybe?) with the steelies, and just added the polished SS trim rings, and it looked quite sharp.

I drove all last winter with the steelies. Never considered trim rings, but, If I could get a set of these OEM hubcaps from the XL cheap, and were guaranteed they fit my rims, I'd be tempted:

My 08 F-150 has those. Gave the steelies character. The steelies on the mav were one of the biggest reasons I went XLT. I like cheap but don’t like looks cheap lol

Another solution for hubcaps is OEM Ford Escape or Fusion hubcaps... if a set could be sourced at a reasonable price. I think they're decent looking, would look great on a Maverick:

Thanks to the OP, decided to try some hubcaps on mine. Went with the FX-Poor version Think they will work until I wear out the stock tires. 30 bux at walmart and a can of plastidip to blackout the steelies and all done.

Looks good too!
