Default hubcaps or not?

Hey all, I have a 98 Accord with the LX hubcaps lol. I have some rims for it but being that it is getting colder and I have summer tires, I have taken them off for the winter. Right now I'm rolling on the stock 15s with the hubcaps. In my opinion, they make the car look like what I'm trying to avoid, a family sedan. I don't have any wings or body kits or anything like that, just lowered on Eibach's. My question is, do you guys think they look funny with the black steelies with no hubcaps? Do most people just put the hubcaps on? I'm mostly worried about it making my car look like a hoop-D with 4 donuts or something haha.

it would reduce the family sedan look but it will increase your ricer look a notch ... i mean it doesn't look terrible ... when i ran on steelies it was never a fashion statement i just didn't have hubcaps and wasn't about to buy some ... but its all really up to you and what floats your boat

When I had the beast on the road I always did the complete summer for winter swap. Complete with hub caps. It's really a presonnal preferance but I think people who swap summer rims for steelies with no wheel covers look like cheap A$$es. Are you going to be out polishing and showing your car in the snow?

If you don't put them on you'll look like every other ricer. I see so many people run steelies on just the front and try to keep up the summer look in the rear....cheap!


No one is looking at your ride while your plowing through snow banks in it. Why try to keep up a rice appreance

What should you care about what others are thinking?
Winter's upcoming, and if you're anywhere near the northern states - it's going to get so mucked up you'll be glad you didn't have anything nice on the car.

Save your money, say ^%$&# to the naysayers and drive the ^%^$ thing!
