Default Beauty ring depth?

Going to buy some beauty/trim rings for the stock 16" steelies. Curious as to the depth that the xB takes.

If you want real polished solid stainless steel, instead of plastic, then go to Hubcap Mike's:

I like the center caps. Do they make them where they don't pop out as much? What type lugs did you use?

the center caps are called 'spider caps'. they cover the hub & lug nuts. i just reused my stock lug nuts.

Got the plastic ones on and they look good. Now i gotta figure out what color to paint the wheels. Black, dark grey or the color of the xB. Like to get the stainless ones but i heard the make noises after a while. Also gotta change the lugs and do something with the center cap. I like the spyders but they stick out too much for my taste.

Dunno which site if was but I read the grease caps do not stay on very well. Already going for the bullet style lugs. Any idea what lug size to use?

you have to use something like GOOP adhesive to make sure the grease caps stay put. and im 90% sure lugs are 12x1.5
