Best Hubcaps: Protect Your Wheels in Style

These bestselling wheel covers range from 14-17 inches and are adjustable for a secure fit to your vehicle’s tire. They fit most car models but work especially well on Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Kia, and Mazda vehicles. The micro-adjustable retention system helps them fit securely to almost any wheel hub in the world.

The Pilot Spyder’s 10 spokes are made from an ABS silver plastic that prevents corrosion and rust from entering the inside of the wheels. Their sleek black and silver design gives the illusion of uncovered rims while offering all the protection of a wheel cover for a fashionable and functional look.

Be warned, though, that these wheel covers are only compatible with steel wheels and not ones made of alloy. The spokes and adjustment system won’t be able to grip onto alloy.

These 15-inch wheel covers are replicas based on the Toyota Corolla, but they’re compatible with any 15-inch wheel and not just those on a Toyota Camry or Corolla. Retention adjustment rings help them better fit the wheels.

OxGord’s snap-on hubcaps are easy to install, adjust, and readjust whenever necessary. Snap-on installation takes under 10 minutes. They’re weatherproof as well, designed to withstand heat, moisture, and ice. 

We love the price, especially for bestsellers, but one thing we don’t love is the lack of long-term durability. Once scratched or cracked, these hubcaps are susceptible to further damage, and since they’re sold in sets, you’ll have to buy four replacements if just one breaks.

These BDK hubcaps feature high-quality ABS material as well as a retention ring for better adjustment. The retention ring aids in easier and faster installation and won’t fall off while you drive.

If you want rims but don’t want to leave your tires and hub susceptible to damage, BDK’s wheel covers are a great alternative. They are coated for protection, and their weatherproof ABS plastic will not chip and scratch on the road. They’re designed for fashion and function.

There are a couple of downsides. They only come in 16 inches, and the retention ring only adjusts to a certain extent. Also, they’re partially constructed out of less-durable plastic, which hampers their ability to handle severe weather.

The Alpena 58259 VR Carbon Wheel Cover Kit includes four wheel covers and can be used on either 15- or 16-inch wheels, depending on what size you order. The wheel covers feature a thick, multi-spoke design with a carbon texture and satin gunmetal finish. 

These European-made covers are high-quality and durable with a three-step retention system and adjustable inner rings that keep them tightly in place. Compatible with most types of steel wheels, these hubcaps are made of ABS plastic. Users report that they are quite simple to install, are of good quality overall, and look stylish. 

When properly installed and after doing the proper preparation, they stick solidly onto your wheels. However, these are not one-size-fits-all hubcaps. It can take some time to properly adjust the ring and the plastic ring expander to get a snug fit in order to prevent them from coming off. Also, some users complain that they don't conceal steel wheels as well as some other brands.

One of the best things about the Drive Accessories KT-950-15MBK set of four wheel covers is that they fit most U.S. and domestic vehicles with 15-inch steel wheels, so you don't have to worry about compatibility. Plus, you can use them in extreme weather conditions.

Made of high-quality ABS plastic with a matte black finish, they will not rust or corrode. The hubcaps feature an easy, clip-on installation, and the manufacturer provides written instructions as well as an online video tutorial. The double-notch design ensures a firm grip, and four retention rings are included. Overall, they're nice-looking wheel covers for the price and feel very sturdy. Plus, customer service is very helpful if you experience any issues.

One downside is that they won't fit wheels that have been modified or customized, or ones that have tall centers or elongated lugnuts. There have also been some complaints that they stick out a bit too much, and they may make a popping sound for a short time before you break them in.
