Default Plastic hub caps on a crappy toyota

After many years of driving, countless tire changes… never ever broke a hub cap. Today changed the tires and all 4 were broken.

No damage to hub caps on the outside. No obvious clip curbs. But seriously. All 4 hubcaps broke at once.

Very annoying.

I got sick of buying dozens of boxes of plastic hubcaps for wife’s Toyota for the same reason you are. I finally bought some mag wheels which cured the problem. Only regret I didn’t do it sooner. She bought car new in 2008. Only did the mags a few years ago. Guess I’m a slow learner.

You'll look much younger if you leave them off.
