Honda Hubcaps Wheel Covers Information
Honda hubcaps are held on by the lug nuts
Back in the mid
80's when driving a Japanese import was not quite as fashionable as it is today,
Honda became the first company to come up with wheel covers that were held on by the lug nuts.
The concept was actually quite simple, but it took most other car companies 15+
years to follow (some still have not) and the standard was set. Honda still
makes some of the best hubcaps on the road.
Installation takes a bit more work, but the extra effort is worth the knowledge
that you should never under normal circumstances loose one. They utilize a
chrome
lug nut with a snap on washer. The washer retains the wheel covers to the
vehicle through lug holes in the center.

One item of note. If your Honda does
not currently have factory Honda wheel covers on
it and you wish to add them, be sure the little black washer is present on at
least half of the lug nuts for each wheel. The washer snaps into a ridge about
halfway down the center of the lug nut. Most Honda's should have these washers,
but if yours does not, they will need to be purchased at your
Honda dealer. Honda
hubcaps will NOT retain on the vehicle without these washers.
Another important item is interchange
between different styles. Interchanges between different models generally does
not work. For sure Accord and Civic hubcaps will not interchange because the
distance between the bolts (bolt pattern) is different. Accords have a 115mm
bolt pattern and Civics have a 100mm bolt pattern.
Honda hubcaps are also somewhat
year specific. Look on the Honda Hubcap catalog
to see what years a particular hubcap spans. Certain years will interchange and
certain years will not. Since rim sizes and configurations change every few
years, sometimes there is a problem fitting a different year model on your car.
If you want a hubcap from a different year for your car, your best bet is to
contact us and ask. An
answer to this question could save you time and shipping.
About Hubcap Heaven and Wheels
There are numerous websites on the net that state " logo not
included" or do not show an emblem on the photo of the hubcaps. All of our
factory original hubcaps and wheel covers come complete
with the "H" logo. Any replica style will be clearly marked in the picture and on the order
page. There is nothing wrong with many of the replica's, in fact they can save
you money and some of the older Honda hubcaps are very hard to find. But we want
you to know exactly what you are getting, no surprises.
