Hubcaps that secure by lug nuts
Hello,
Has anyone been able to find hubcaps that secure to the wheel by the lug nuts? I have been having trouble with the delicate tabs breaking on the oem hubcaps whenever I remove them. With some of the tabs broken, the hubcaps don't have a tight grip on the wheel. In fact one is of my hubcaps rolled away while driving. Alternatively, does anyone know of hubcaps that have larger lugnut holes? This way I won't have to remove the hubcaps everytime I remove the wheels. My socket bits are too big to fit into the oem holes. |

Certain model hyundai accents or at least the last gen accents have own hubcaps that are held in my lug nuts. They also share the same lug pattern as the yaris

1996-1998 (or possibly all the way to 2000) had hubcaps that were secured by lugs.
FYI, nearly 75% of all Yarii around here are missing a hubcap!

As much as you may be having problems with your hubcaps being secured to the wheels, hubcaps that are held in place by Lugnuts are A royal pain in the ass. Hondas have them or at least my 91 accord wagon did. Maybe you should check out Hondas if you’re so inclined.
