Not a wheel cover, just the center hub.

I don't care what car it comes from. I looked on the wheel tire forum and didn't find anything. Part numbers, make or model with year, if they exist. Thanks.

are you just looking for a cap to cover the axle nut?

The ones that I know about won't fit.

Mid-'80s Jetta had some small wheel covers, maybe 8" diameter. They used little clips but the wheels had to be drilled for them. Maybe you could drill?

My older BMW had center caps that snapped directly into the center hole, but your Accord wheels are hub-centric so that won't work.

Just the center cap to cover the axle nut. I've already tried my BMW ones, they don't fit (not even the TRX ones).

Are you looking for a spindle & nut dust cover? If so they don't make them specifically for the 96 Accord. I found this online. I have no idea what the measurements are. you would have to call them and see what the OD is for the caps and find one that fits the ID of your hub.

To find a set of those to fit 15's will be tough. Last time I saw a set of those was on an early 80's Civic with 13's.

Good luck with your hunt

The answer was sitting in my driveway. My wifes CRV has the steel 15" wheels and the center caps fit. I could have sworn I tried them before-love senility!

Now I just have to find some.

That was easier than I thought it would be.

Here is a set for sale...$30 including shipping and they even state that they may fit on the Accord.

Perfect, thanks!

Not sure why they didn't show up in yesterdays Ebay search, but I appreciate the link.

Actually I think the ones in the link you posted should work as well. I just read there listing and it sounds like they will fit most Honda Steel rims from 84-00. The center hub dimensions for the steelies probably haven't changed. Not 100% though

I think those are the ones I tried a few months ago, from my Civic. They are too small as the Civic has 56.1 mm hub and the Accord has 64.1mm.
