Im kinda indesisive about things thats why i ask so many questions. But my pretty lil fastback is missing a factory hubcap. I was wondering if there was any really neat hubcap covers? all the ones i have seen have plastic chrome with fake crossed drilled rotors.

Personally, i'd run on the steelies alone(until I could get better rims). I like the look <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
I've been looking everywhere for black 16x8 rims, but I just can't find them.

ya really, just take off all your hubcaps. i hate hubcaps <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> especially ones with fake huge rotors. i mean, i guess they're cool if you stand 50 yards away. but just say they are your winter wheels and tires. and when somebody says ok it's spring time now, just say oh yeah, i keep forgetting to put my (expensive brand) wheels on...
the only ones that even looked remotely good on my car, when i was poor.. were the 95-ish Altima hubcaps.
Here is a before pic of my car:

i rode ghetto style for 4 months on target 5 stars, not the crome cheap looking ones but the alloy looking expensive ones. i think they were 19.99 for all 4.

I had my 17's with low profiles on the front and factory on the rear with some tall tires. People always asked me why I only had cool rims on the front. LoL I always said, duh! you don't drag race on low profiles. They always just nod and say cool. It was actually because I had lowered my car and had temporary camber problems and didn't want to wear out my good tires.
