Hi all,
Newb here so if this has been covered 1,000 times over I apologize but after scrolling through pages in this section I didn't seen any recent posts.
So I have an 09 2.4L base Vibe and I'd like to ditch the stock hubcaps but keep the steelies.
Couple of reasons why, just in case you're curious:
1) I'm cheap. I realize the gains aesthetically and performance-wise of alloy wheels but at the end of the day I don't think the return on investment for upgraded alloy wheels is worth the coin.
2) I prefer the understated look. Nothing wrong with being brash, but my preference is understated. It makes it more entertaining when I pass them.
With all that out of the way, here's my thoughts on what to do.
1) HubCap Mike's has Mooneyes in 16s. Those are hard to find otherwise. Cheap. Easy. Slap 'em on with a bit of silicon and away I roll. Super easy. Cheap. Simple.
2) Mike's also has chrome trim rings AND hub cap spyders. A bit more, especially with the spyders but still it achieves the effect I'm after.
That's it. That's all I've come up with.
I'm curious, does anyone run or seen/know of other options out there? Anyone seen other steel center cap covers? I've seen some posted on the Scion boards but I have no clue if they will work or not.
Thanks for reading!
Jamie
