hey, i was thinking of getting new hubcaps for my 89lxi and most of the ones i see have 5 holes (for screws) or no holes, not four, will a no holes one (or 5 holes one) fit on my car, or has anyone had any experience with this?

With most non-factory hubcaps, the bolts are fake, and there aren't actually holes for your real bolts. So most of the 5 bolt ones should fit just fine, but I agree with 89AcCOrDmike, I think the factory ones look a lot better in the first place (if you have them and if they are in pretty good shape).

Sheesh guys, am I the only one that would suggest black steelies with chrome nuts?:D

I'd rather do that than put any hubcap from some other car or aftermarket.

can you just pull our hubcaps off? or do you have to unscrew the lugs? i've got a cracked one that i got when i jumped a sidewakl and was looking to pick up a new one the next time i'm at the junk yard.

i just did mine this weekend. they look good. didn't get the front right done though. one of the bolts wouldn't come lose, so i gotta figure out a way to get the hubcap off. any suggestions? one tip when you put them on, use an air gun, the bolts on mine keep coming lose a bit and causing a vibration. i just have to keep tightening them. any suggestions on how to get them on without them loosening up?

:barf: you know, not to be an ass but painting the hubcaps chrome would well.. be reaaaallly ugly and ricey.

I'd suggest you just take em off. and just have the steelies showing.

travis, becuase from past experiences you have stated that you like what I like so.:D

steelies rock! i actually always think it looks good!

steelies really look better than about 50% of rims i have seen. like those lame "ultra" wheels and shit...
