I'm guessing wheel covers = hubcaps?

I am so glad I moved to TN before all that snow hit this year lol :D

And yeah - Mason - you're right :)

lol ok I've never heard to them referred to as that before, but I couldn't figure out what else it would be.

They do look better than the factory ones. The caps were the least favorite part of my car.

Really? They stopped calling them "hubcaps" back in the '80's.

They've been known as wheel covers ever since. You've never noticed the packaging in stores that sell covers? "Wheel Covers" in big bold letters.

Maybe that's how it is up north, but down here hubcaps is all I see/hear.

I really wanted something with a five spoke!I Like that look,
All they had where chromey ones!
these where under 30 bucks for a 4 Pak so I can run them for the winter!
maybe get some wheels later??
Was out running around yesterday they look good out in the real world!
Hard to keep your car clean here now,
they are dumping tons of sand and salt on the roads! Crazy!

Well your both right, but hubcaps are actually the pop on metal types like they use on Ford or Chevy vans

Most cars "back in the day" used to use metal ones like that. Or baby moon type smooth ones. Yes, that's right, even Porsche used them!http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/porsche-356-original-BABY-MOON-hubcap-/160508657341?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item255f0fbebd Then they came out with the full COVER to decorate the whole wheel instead of just a center piece. Hence the name wheel cover. So both are right really. Wheel covers are just fancier hub caps and hubcap is the generic name for anything other than custom wheels.
