Be careful! Before I bought my 14" alloys, I had some 14" cheesy hubcaps from Pep Boys. One day, while crusing down the road, those cheap hubcaps "spun" inside the steel wheel and actually sheared off the front left tire valve, causing a quick dump of all air in the tire. (Like, all air gone in a few seconds.) Thank goodness I was just driving down a residential street and wasn't on the freeway. (Or with the kids in the van.) This could have been incredibly ugly. Beware of cheap hubcaps.
