Black hubcaps?
 
Has anyone seen any black hubcaps for our stock wheels? The only thing left on my black xb that's not black are the hubcaps. I would buy wheels but I don't have the money yet. Something like the stock 9-spoke in black or whatever anyone could find.

Thanks in advance for any help.

simple solution

just paint them black

the 9 spoke looks awesome in gunmetal.

I've also seen some hubcaps in a dark gunmetal that look OK...

Of course, painting flexible plastic like the Scion hubcaps requires the right primer and paint.

I thought about painting mine (i even bought some black paint for plastic) but i chickened out. It might look pretty ghetto, like painting your hood black to look carbon fiber.

But really, I have my eye on some nice wire hub caps now. So who I am to talk about ghetto.

firesquare 11-22-2004 04:53 PM

nah its not ghetto. it's personal prefrence.

i painted my last car.s wheels Flat Black and they were nice lookin 16's for a Ford Focus ZX3

if i could post a pic i would :(

before i bought rims, I did paint my hub caps black, and left the center scion logo unpainted. it looks pretty cool in my opinion.

don't paint hubbies... just roll on steelies if you can't afford rims

wnsham 11-23-2004 03:53 AM

My steelies look pretty nice when they're shined up. I still want to get some rims someday, but for now I like it better than the plastic saucers.

2tone_xB 11-23-2004 12:13 PM

Just stick with hubs ON. Painted or unpainted. :D

bikerman7502002 11-23-2004 01:09 PM

Thanks for all the replies. I'll probably end up painting the hubs if I can't find a decent replacement set.

beioski 11-23-2004 01:27 PM

I would buy a cheap set from pep boys if you really want to paint hubcaps. You might regret it, and then you would have the stock hubcaps to put back on.
