Poll: which hubcaps should I get?

[rayray2]

I've got a 97 Mazda Protege...nothing fancy, just a commuter car to get me to work and back. I hit a curb a while back and lost both hubcaps on the driver's side, so I'd like to get a new set. Should I get option 1 or option 2?

Edit: The car looks like this, only blue.

pic of the car or else i really can't invision what would look good/bad

 

[mordantmonkey]

the ones with big plastic spinners on them. oh and make sure they have a really cheap "chrome" coating. that'll look cool.

lololol 2

How much are new hubcaps? I have a 2000 Protege that is missing 3 caps. The ones in Pic2 look just like them. My car is looking like ass without them.

I'll make the obligatory request for spinner hubcaps 😛

I kid, I kid. Get option 2. Option 1 looks stupid for two reasons: A) you'll see too much of the steel wheel behind it, and B) it's chromed plastic.

get them from a junkyard if you can't find a similar one parked anywhere

get #2 # 1 leaves too much space between the spokrs for your crappy steel whells to show through. besides, cromed out plastic screams cheap.

You got to go with Option 1

 

[V00DOO]

Neither. Get some spinners!

Actually, my car's identical twin parks very near me at work. Unfortunately, that parking lot is covered in cameras. 🙁

I guess I do need to hit the scrap yard, as they apparently want about $40 each for replacements. WTF?

No-one buys hubcaps! it's a chain whereby you take them from other people's cars in carparks. eventually the chain will reach someone who works in a hubcap factory who can get them for free. This is how the cycle works, it's science.

Who's the baller that voted for option 1?

 

[rayray2]

Hmmm, never thought about the fact that option 1 shows so much of the crappy steel wheel. Option 2 it is...thanks everyone!! :beer:

OEM hubcaps are ridiculously expensive, just get cheap generic looking replacements.
