Steel Trim Rings
I got bored of my old hubcaps (after I got bored of the stock hubcaps) and took Gideon's lead to purchase steel trim rings.
I've gotta say... it was of the cheeper and easier ways to achieve a sporty looking rim. I definately recommend these to people who want a new look but cant afford rims.... like me, haha. Took some Pics today despite the terrible weather. These are Gideon's: I will take pics of mine when its light outside.

No other $44.00 cosmetic enhancement can come close to what trim rings do for your ride. Did you get center caps too?

Oooohhh. What a sexy ride! Glad to have more people do the trim rings! I think the look is great, and I actually got a few comments on my car when I had this combo! (None now. ) |

:D Thanks gideon, loved it since I saw your yaris done like that.... I will be trying to get the caps but I'm having trouble finding your old thread in which you gave the number....
:s btw Klink10, I found them in an autozone, they only had 1 set.... they got around 44$ and I think the brand was called KLT or KLR.... something like that.

The center cap is from Napa's Balkamp catalog # 730-2411.
They don't fit snug without some emblem tape to close the gap, once you do that, they're golden. |
