Hubcaps r us! (1 Viewer)

[mattskiii]

Looking at putting some hubcaps on my FJ40. Thing is, I'm clueless (never messed with them - ever). For grins, ordered a couple from SOR to see if they would look good on my wheels. I like the look, but question is, how to attach? I've read about clips, and looking at my wheels I see holes (for the clips?). Just need to figure out what to get and where to get 'em. Appreciate any help for this old newbie... Cheers!

I've read that VW hubcap clips will work. Although, these are quite pricey:

I've paid less for a good used wheel!

Thanks! But I don't see how those clips (VW) fit into the holes (I point out in picture) on wheel...

They would get riveted to the holes in your wheels. It would probably help if someone posted a pic of an OEM wheel with clips.

I've got a bag of VW clips and rivets (30) I bought to run hubcaps on non OEM wheels but I ended up going a different route. I'd gladly sell them to you for close to what I have into them, I think I paid about a dollar each plus shipping off e-bay. Install on your wheels should be pretty straight forward.
