New Hubcaps/Rims - 17in (Page 1/1)
Vicophine MAY 07, 12:58 PM
Hey everyone! Recently I had to get new wheels for my 88 4-cylinder, now I am in the market for some hub-caps/rims that would look nice on my car.

They are 17inch wheels, thanks for the input and feedback!

Note: Was told to "keep it how it is, no rim/hub-cap" but I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Center caps would look good.
Just something simple to cover the lugnuts.

I wouldn't mind that at all, not sure if the ones on the Fiero Store for example would fit 17's though. If they do, then that is a very good contender!

How about the little chrome center caps like police cars use? Chevy Impala, etc.... Bolt pattern would be wrong though.

Sounds like a really dumb question, but the caps on the Fiero store say for "14/15 inch wheels", but I don't see why the caps themselves would not fit on my 17's, as it's just the center piece to cover up the lugnuts?

Do all hubcaps fit all wheels? Doubtful.

If I'm not mistaken, the "center caps" the Fiero Store sells are just the little 2"-diameter circle to fill in the hole in the center of the aluminum wheels. It doesn't cover the lugnuts at all.

Unless you're seeing something else on their site I haven't found.

Maybe these from the 13" wheels on the 84's would work... although they only cover the spindles, not the lug nuts.

You need to measure the ID of the ring surrounding the lugnuts.
Once you have that info, it's just a matter of finding a center cap that fits.
