Picture

That is my car, but it will do. The wheel that the hubcap was stolen from is circled in green. That picture was taken by me as I stood on my stoop. Its hard not to notice since the car is directly infront of you...

Oh well, $35 for a new hubcap... wish I had the actual nice wheels and not hubcaps. Too much $$$ though.

When I drove a Camry, the hubcaps were like tanks. I've hit so many bumps and pot holes they never flew off. Only once did I lose one but that was when I hit a crater and bent my rim...

They forced me to pay with the $35 in my balance and the $25 remainder with my credit card. I asked the seller if they accepted any other forms of payment so I wouldn't lose my $35 balance and he replyed he also acceptes c2it. I signed up for c2it and was about to send payment when I see "Master Card only" on the sign up sheet. I do not have a Master Card, I have a Visa and Amex. Eventually I was forced to pay with PayPal and lose my $35 balance. It might not sound like a big deal, but a lot of people in For Sale/Trade only accept non-cc PayPal. Get it now?

Actually Kevin, we got it. We just don't care. It's an important distinction ;)

Reasons why I don't like wheel covers and paypal, though they are both cheap and efficent.

Don't most honda's have bolt-on wheel covers? Is it called a wheel cover or a hubcap?

Both will do. I don't have them on my car and my parents could care less about alloy wheels...
