I am well aware these pop-on hubcaps don’t last long. I’m a pretty defensive driver so that helps, but all it takes is 1 pothole. The way I look at it, if they break/fall off in 6 months, for $25, I’m not mad. I’ll get a new style next time, it’s like giving the car a mini makeover :) If they only last 2-3 months, I’d probably just go hubcap-less. For me, I’m trying to view this car as a commuter car and not a show-off. This attitude also helps when I randomly find more scratches on the car that I didn’t see before :)
