Default Pics of non Scion hubcaps

To change up my winter look I ordered some aftermarket chrome hubcaps. I saw some like these on an xB a couple years back but could not find the thread. Here are the caps.

Yea...I had those. I saw them online and figured I would give them a shot (a few years back). The fitment was awful. They would not sit flush so they looked wobbley while in motion. I think I still have them sitting in my basement.

Were they not seating properly? Also are the ones you got metal or plastic? Where did you get yours from cause there are several styls of the same cap made by different companies. I researched the heck out of them before I ordered them.
If they end up being crappy they will be going back for sure. I have one other chrome Camry cap I'm looking at too. The Scion caps all stick out too far for my liking.

Now that I had a chance to look into this, it appears that we are talking about different hub caps. I went with these:

http://www.suburbanwheelcover.com/cg....2.1.0.1.5.1.0

and yea..they just didn't sit right on the steal wheel.

Here is the the thread I started back in 05. The last hub cap listed in the thread seems to be the one you went with. Hopefully yours work out better then mine did.

This place is in Chicago. Terrible customer service. They basically wouldn't do anything to make me happy. The only refund they offered was 85% of the cost and I'd have to pay to ship them back. The caps didn't fit FWD wheels but the description said nothing about this fact. Now I have enough caps for both of my trailers. Back to using the phone dial bB caps for the steelies. Will paint the steelies silver when the weather gets nice. Then run the trim rings and center caps again while running the 15s.
Not happy with those caps at all. I even tried modding them with little success. By the time I had removed enough material I had almost 45 minutes of grinding time invested in just one.
