      Best Looking Hubcaps???

      Hey Guys,

      I just got a Brand New 2011 Urban Grey Aveo (Got an Awesome Deal!!).

      I dont really like the hubcaps and would like to switch them out (they are 14"). I am Not looking to buy new rims...

      Here is the car:


      I was thinking of these??




      Can anyone post some pics of their car with aftermarket hubcaps?

      Thanks

      Pretty similar to the OEM covers, no? (The first one)

      If you can find a direct side view photo of a grey Aveo sedan, you could photoshop them on. (Some of the rim sites have this feature, but probably not for wheel covers.)

      Congrats on the new car though & welcome to the site.

      Ha - you beat me to it

      Yep, I like the look of those hubcaps in your photoshop pic better than OEM.

      Thanks! Im glad to be here.

      The OEM are ok (i like the quality)... but i actually like the 05 Hubcaps better.

      1st off... i dont like hubcaps at all, but who does lol.

      2nd... I dont like how my hubcaps have real straight lines and expose alot of the steel wheel. They also have the fake lug nuts that stick out really far.

      I really would like to find something asap. I am not used to the looks of the car and it will be easier if i change them right off the bat. Then i will get accustomed to seeing them everyday....

      I have tried to buy hubcaps for other cars.. but sometimes they just look weird or are shaped funny and you cant tell until they are on the car. Sometimes the centers stick out far instead of the hubcap being flat all the way across.

      Another option: could paint the existing ones.

      Gunmetal wheel finish is popular these days...

      That does look pretty good. I just think my current hubcaps make the rims look even smaller than they are lol... and 14" is already TINY! The size of the rims are disproportionate to the rest of the car and these hubcaps seem to make it worse!

      I am really leaning towns the hubcaps in my photoshop.. I will see if i can take a pic of my car tomorrow and try it again. I plan to keep looking for now.

      Thanks for all your time and help!

      In case you haven't decided yet, here are those hubcaps you have painted flat black:
