Leave them original if you must run them (like me)... if they have scratches you can see scratches add character.....

For show purposes either alloys or buy non scratched caps for show.

Also shows that you are curbing it alot lol ... j/k ... no not really but if you have that many scratches then you prob want to hold off on the rims anyway

steelies with no caps in the winter only, not worth having nice wheels for Wisconsin winters. i'd still have my hubcaps but i sold them to a friend who got his jacked.

Wait, are we hating on steelies again?
I only removed the plastic caps since they rub on turns since i replaced my tires with larger ones, more performance, better grip. I also changed my lug nuts, since the stock ones looked like shiite to me.
Does that= BAD?
Fill me in please.
Not everyone wants to put rims on a yaris. Well, just yet anyway.
I don't want to give thieves more reason to steal my car parked on the street.

I'm rockin' the stealies w/o caps. I would absolutely love to buy wheels for my car - but can't rationalize spending that kind of money to make my Yaris look purdy right now. When money's not so tight, for sure. Hubcaps in general just look like ass to me. So I just rock the stealies, and keep 'em clean. So sue me. :biggrin:

wtf is with the stock tires on the front and rims on the back picture? Give it that "ready for the quarter mile" look or something?

Also I'm sooo guilty. Even more so for this I'm sure:

I painted my caps for the reason that i dont have money for wheels right now and i can stand silver wheels/caps.


And Echo, thank you, now im hungry for pizza.

Gideon, where did you get those trim rings for the steelies???

Bought them online. (Can't remember where, sorry) You can get them at any auto parts store really. Kragens has them, part #48889. Autozone carries them, but only for 14" wheels. JC Whitney carries them online as well, but it's chrome plated ABS plastic, and I wanted real metal rings.

Yeah, I still have my lame hubcaps on. If I send one flying from hitting a curb or something I'll just take them all off. I'd love to get nice wheels and stuff but I just don't have that kind of money.
