    Question Mitsubishi center caps for steelies?

    I found these nice-looking hubcap covers while browsing eBay. They also come with a chrome finish. I wonder if this would fit the Mirage's wheels?

    I have an ES with the alloy wheels. My wheels have a cap in the center. Not sure if it's the same one, but it is plastic. Not sure if these would work on steel wheels. I haven't paid too much attention to the hub caps that come on those.

    Please take notice that the size is in MILLIMETERS...at ~50mm there's not any physical way in hell these are caps for hubs, but instead they are probably caps for Lugs holes.

    No problem! I was just wondering if a look like this one would work with the Mirage:

    I just made a quick & dirty Photoshop of it. Not bad. This doesn't show the depth you get with trim rings, though.

    A bit. Maybe trim rings with chrome lug nuts would be better.

    Does not look bad IMO. Different, but not bad.

    I'm thinking that if you're not a big hubcap guy, this looks way better than hubs IMO.
