Fit your hubcaps on rims without clips (1 Viewer)

[Cruiser68]

Hi
The other day I got in contact with a company that is working on a alternative to fit your hubcaps on rims without the original riveted clips. They will come back to me in a week or so when they have finished the product, I will keep you informed if there is some interest

Might be a killer cost shipping from Sweden ... But... Still love to see what they come up with

Thanks for looking out for your mud brothers/sisters

Would be interesting to see. Keep us informed.

Here's my take on a possible solution, hub cap bolt-on clips or magnets bolted down with the wheel lug nuts, see attached rough hand sketch.

That is my everyday problem, most of the parts I seek for I end up in the US. Not seldom will the postage and taxes end up being more than the value of the parts . But what the heck, all for the cruisers!

I'm interested too.

It would be cool if one of the vendors could make those and keep a set or two of them in stock.

Here is s clip that I made... It wasn't too bad as much as I recall... But had too much stuff to do ... Time is mostly spoken for these days lol

Somebody 'should' be able to make these... Sor has them for sale for like $15 each ... Too much$$

They're spring clips. If not they'd get loose all the time.

I'm getting sick of hubcaps on my truck. My hand aches right now from putting the silly caps back on and I couldn't help but think "Why do I do this?" They're just trim and my knarly truck is gonna' look good to me with or without them.

What exactly is the function of hubcabs on a no nonsense vehicle like the FJ4x?

They make a cruiser 'cute'

Thought that's what wheel covers do. Hub caps on a cruiser back then served the same purpose as the hub caps on police cruisers today, protect the lug nuts. If you were looking for cute you added beauty rings. I know the US was one of a few markets that had hub caps but that may have been because we have so many paved roads that road tar building up on the lug nuts was a bigger problem then other markets.
