Default Hubcap Ques

I brought my Scion XB 2005 used about 2 months ago.
Everything’s great, but my hubcaps keep falling off (the previous owner must of had to replace the original Scion hubcaps because I noticed that Scion was nowhere on the ones I replaced). Now, I’m not going to lie, I’m a new driver so I do have the tendency to hit the wheel when I park and I have a narrow driveway so sometimes when I’ m backing out, my wheel will hit the curb of my driveway. Anyways, after buying some knockoff hubcaps last month, I already have to buy a second set because one of my front wheel hubcaps has come off.

Other than just don’t hit the curb, can anyone offer advice? A friend of mine suggested I get rims. I feel maybe I just need to buy hubcaps that screw on rather than the ones that snap on.

Please help. My Scion looks so unsightly with a missing hubcap!!!!

b4 i got rims i didn't mind the way the car looked with just the steelies. as long as their clean and free of brake dust, unless u dig that rusted orange look! other than that get the screw on's. i would say save up a get sum rims but being as you have the common problem of being followed by those pesky jumping curbs, i wouldn't.curb rashed rims are pretty unsightly too.
