Where can I find a decent set of wheel covers/hubcaps?

Oct 25, 2012 5:42 PM

Either Brick and Mortar or online, I don't care. I own a 1998 Camry that always seems to lose a wheel cover once in a while. I'm pretty sure Toyota should be in the Guinness Book of World records for losing the most hubcaps with this generation of Camry, but I digress... I have bought the cheap ones and they break too easy so looking for a quality set that is not expensive. Thanks!

Breaking ... maybe try to avoid touching the curb when parallel parking? I can't imagine why they would be breaking otherwise without some sort of physical contact.

My suggestion - just buy two boxes of cheap hubcaps so you have four spares. If you're losing them because of potholes, then thread a couple zip tie through the holes in the steel wheel and the hubcap; just keep a pair of cutters in the car in case you need to remove them.

Junkyard. They sell those things for a buck a piece and I'm sure your car has the 14" wheels that just about every 90's car came with.

@narfcake: I do not break them hitting curbs. ;-) They sometimes break just installing them because they are so damn thin and cheap. I recently bought new tires and the tire shop broke one taking them off. Again, they are just that fragile. I have thought about just buying additional ones to keep replacing when they break but I would rather just buy better quality ones and not have to do that.

@eraten: This is probably a good idea. I just hope I can find some in decent shape. I drove around with no wheel covers for most of the summer (because I don't care how it looks) but my wife thinks it looks to "ghetto" so she made me buy some.... :-)

Ebay Motors. Good deals there on occasion.

Check out this site. I've never had a vehicle requiring hubcaps so I'm not an expert but the ones on this site look nice.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
