My RV is on a Ford, so that's where I got a new hubcap when needed.

Try www.ineedahubcap.com I bought one for less than half of what the Ford dealership was going to charge.

I would have gone to either of those, but was covered by insurance. Would definitely be looking at junk yards if near one and paying by myself. Then would go to Pat's link and others I could find online.

Remember, I bought my last set of tires for my car on Amazon (free shipping). Price shop.

Donna, When they ordered my hubcaps, they got a pair that didn't match (I only needed one, but it ended good they ordered the pair) ... they switched out the two front ones for the new design - so I have different hubcaps on the rear wheels from the front wheel. Of course insurance was paying for this, and the place doing the work "gave" me the 2nd one because it was their error (they made lots and lots of errors) but I've never had anyone notice (that they've said) that my hubcaps aren't all the same.

If you put a matching set on one side of the vehicle and a different matching set on the other side, no one will ever know they don't match from one side to the other. :D

I was thinking the same thing, Barbie :lol: But front match would work also. Hey one not matching would work in a pinch. Again, you could keep track of those that notice and those that cared! :)

I use to have so much trouble keeping up with hubcaps that I thought about just taking them off and storing them. The ones I have now have locks but some of the tire people don't know how to take them off. I have to watch that they don't try to pry them off. :?

I was serious. I think that's a genius solution. Nobody can see all 4 at one time. Barbie, I wasn't being sarcastic.

Actually, it's more proper to put different ones on both front and then both rear .. or so I was told by a car aficionado and friend. I thought what you said ... but was told absolutely not.
