Keeping Your Toyota Hubcaps in Shape
So your Toyota vehicle is no longer just another car passing in
the street or parked in another fellow's garage.
Just a month ago you were bored with your car's looks and have
been scouring the market for ways to give your beloved Toyota
ride a little facelift without necessarily wiping the face off
your wallet, or your credit card. You were happy to find that
Toyota offered a vast array of top of the line car parts and
accessories to give your car that additional zing - from
colorful seat covers, floor carpets, and steering wheels for
your car's interiors to body kits, ground effects, spoilers and
hubcaps for its exterior.
For your car, you picked the Toyota hubcaps (also known as wheel
covers) - those round metallic disks designed to fit snugly over
the center space of a car's tires. More than protecting the lug
nuts from exposure to the elements, Toyota hubcaps were
guaranteed to give your vehicle a boost to its overall style.
You were amazed at the vast collection of hubcap designs you
were free to choose from: from the simple yet elegant steel
wheel covers to the trendy hubcaps featuring a free-spinning
center element, and to the upscale wheel covers which used
separate anti-theft retaining screws with separate caps or
covers. Before you knew it, you were sporting a trendier car
around the neighborhood and the city.
So now that the new look is in place, how do you get to keep it?
True, maintaining a complete set of hubcaps can be a real
challenge. The main reason for this is the process of changing
tires. Every time you change tires, your Toyota Hubcaps must be
pried out with a screwdriver or some other tool, which
eventually causes the cap to warp. Since few drivers diligently
carry around rubber mallets with them, more often than not,
hubcaps are reattached loosely and incorrectly. This ultimately
leads to the loss of one or more hubcaps. To avoid this from
happening, take the time to periodically secure your Toyota Hubcaps by tapping
the rim in a circular pattern with a rubber mallet.
In addition, your hubcaps should also be cleaned periodically.
When washing your car, always use a suitable cleaner. Use care
when removing your Toyota hubcaps when changing tires to make
sure you don't damage or dislodge any of the retention clips.
Bent or missing retention clips will cause your hubcaps to fall
off, a waste of good money if you never find the missing hubcap
again. When reinstalling the wheel cover, use extreme care not
to break or bend the retention clips, especially when it comes
to hubcaps with plastic clips. Apply pressure to the wheel cover
evenly and gradually; never force the cover on. When installed
properly, your Toyota hubcaps should be evenly seated around the
edge of the wheel. If in any unfortunate event you should lose a
hubcap, you can find comfort in the knowledge that finding an
affordable replacement may only be a mouse's click away.
