I'm going to pick up some new hub caps for my car tomorrow, a 91 accord, at the dealership and wanted to know what kind of price to expect.

Also, before you say to buy nicer wheels, I'm not wanting to spend a whole lot on a 91 accord and would rather save the money, but don't want any old hub caps that I have now to stay on there because I want something decent looking without fake crome at wal mart

WTF?!?! They're gonna charge you like 70 bucks - WTF are you thinking?!?!

Go to your local junkyard and pick a set up. Try ebay.

I have a set of these sitting around. Trust me, you don't want these to be seen on your car. They are ugly as hell.

Again, they won't fit, the '91 accord has 4-lug steelies, and the '04 hubcaps are 5 lug. Plus, his steelies are 14", while the '04's are 15".

Well, they do make 3rd party ones that are the same style but snap on. Ugly as hell like I said.

Any hubcaps you guys can reccomend?

Do what I did. $15 set of Car and Driver hubcaps from Target or any other store that carries hubcaps. Fit right one, and I dont' give a damn if they break/fall-off/get stolen.

I tried walmart and another auto store but all but had were mostly fake chrome or something that didn't look decent. I'll check target though, thanks.

the Target "car and driver" brand ones look like hubcaps from mid 90 accords, so it's not too ugly.

Why even go to the dealer when you already know they won't fit?!?!? I say get some hubcaps from a newer civic - should be the same size.

Jeez, don't go to the dealer. If it coems down to it, this place will have em.

Well, I still have to go to the dealer to get the Honda logo for the back sin ce it's old as well as a new boot and shift knob, I wanted a new matching one, nothing special and dealer is charging 17 for knob and 20 for boot so price wasn't bad compared to shops.

Just go to a junkyard and buy some factory rims that will fit your car. They will probably be around $20-40 bucks a rim unless they are off a really new car or fancy. Hubcaps suck.
