    Anyone Know a Good Place to get Hubcaps or Wheel Covers Cheap?

    Hello! I just bought a batch of winter tires on steelies off kijiji for $100 CAD which was a great deal! What wasn't a great deal was that the steelies themselves were pretty badly rusted.

    I've been looking for some cool or inexpensive hub caps in our classifieds, but all the cool classic car ones don't fit on my wheels, which was a real bummer. So I guess I'm just looking for plastic flats. The problem with those are that the ones sold on classifieds here are always branded, and never mitsubishi.

    Does anyone know a good cheap place to get hub caps online? I really don't want to take the tires off again, they were a huge itch to get on there.


    Side note. After the new tires I have noticed a squeak after the car bounces back at the completion of breaking. I am guessing this is just the rust, but does anyone know better? Do I need to tighten the lugnuts tighter or something?

    That is valid. Sigh, I suppose I'll keep looking at used ones.

    It's hard to spend 30 CAD on Hubcaps when the tires and rims were 100 hahaha

    If you want to go lower than $30 CAD then check in the local wrecking yards or put a want ad in Kijiji.
    If you say you'll pay $20 CAD for a set somebody is likely to take their's off or "acquire" a set to sell you.

    Exactly, I see you're picking up what I'm putting down.
