What do you guys think of this high quality hubcap

http://www.geocities.com/animesrule1/hubcap.jpg

Supose to be made of polished stainless steel and the center black portion is nylon material not that cheap plastic stuff that cracks when you remove it. And then has a nice clear coat. From a distance they look almost like real rims.

Found them on ebay for only 15 bucks. Thinking it owuld look a lot better on my flint mica sedan than the cheap factory hubcaps.

Be honest what you think i dont mind getting flamed on this topic.

Hey those look good for hubcaps...
Check out the Scion peeps forums, there are many of them who built their own steelies and repainted them and done chrome trim on them to make them look like a decent rim.

I really like them, one of the best hubcaps I've ever seen, actually... and for 15 bucks, even better. I say go for it.

I'm not liking the look to be honest. They look like they came off a K-car from Chrysler. Sorry. I think you should keep the stock covers or drop them and paint your steelies black or a matching body color and add a chrome beauty ring. my .02

Okay i decided to buy the set. Ill post some pics of them later once they are on and installed. Maybe ill start a trend =). They do have some other variety of high quality hubcaps too. I only picked this one because it covers nearly all of the steel wheel so makes it very hard to tell its even a hubcap. That and its got black which i think matches with my color paint choice well.

How about posting the website?

Wtf, bump for must see! Not too shabby bro, definitely a cool option for those stuck with steelies on a budget! They'd look very good on the LBs too.

if i lived in warm weather year round i would stick to just wheels/rims. but since i live in pa, i wouldn't mind having those for the winter and wheels for the summer.
