Default Hubcaps

Hey guys. I noticed recently that my hubcaps (wheel covers OEM) are all scratched up around the perimeter. I was wondering is there any way I can fix this and is there any driving tips for not scratching the hubcaps?

Off the top of my head, just get some acrylic cement and fill in any dents and scratches. First rinse off and loose dirt and debris. Sand the edges and rought spots down and get some plastic matching spraypaint and respray them to look like new. Just my .02.

As for driving not to damage them, just don't drive to close to curbs? They are plastic and will get damaged over time. These seem like common sense to me.

Hey globy, i'm sportin civic ex hubcaps, with B16A, intake+headers, and stock exhaust. Fix your hubcaps, swap in a b16/18 Vtec, and fly by guys like dominicandaddy and roycivic. Make sure you get a good look at their faces when your doing it though, It will be priceless I promise lol , when they ask you whats under the hood, tell e'm your not sure, cause its your sisters car

By the way, anyone know where i can get some old school Honda hubcaps? like the ones that came in the late 80's early 90's honda cars :D.
