Hub Cap Annie FAQs

To determine your hubcap size, simply look at the side of your tire. There, you'll see a 9-digit code beginning with the letter P. The specific digits you are most interested in are the last two numbers. They will always follow the letter R. This 2 digit number is your wheel size as well as your hubcap size. It's as simple as that. 

What you do not want to do is physically measure the tire or the hubcap. Doing so will hinder the wheel repair process.

Yes, all two-piece hubcaps include both pieces. All wire hubcaps include the center medallion. It is a common misconception that wheel repair is necessary when the center medallion is missing.

Yes. We call these bolt-on hubcaps, and they do come with the plastic lug caps required for installation and/or wheel repair.

All of our hubcaps fall into one of three categories. 

New: These hubcaps have never been installed on a vehicle, or were removed from a brand new car. They are structurally and cosmetically perfect. 

Used: All used plastic hubcaps have been previously on a vehicle, but for one reason or another are no longer on the car. As long as they are structurally perfect and the finish on the face of the hubcap is perfect or near-perfect, they are thoroughly cleaned and sold as-is. All of our metal hubcaps are used and in good condition. This means they may have light scratches or scuffs. The price posted on our website reflects this. If you wish to purchase a metal hubcap and would like to know its exact condition, please call and we can assist you. Oftentimes, we can lower our asking price on used hubcaps if the customer is willing to accept a lesser condition. 

Reconditioned: These hubcaps have been previously used on a vehicle as well. As long as they are structurally perfect, we thoroughly clean them and put them through our reconditioning process. This process ends with a brand new automotive finish being applied to the face of the hubcap. Our reconditioned hubcaps are hardly distinguishable from ones that are brand new, and we guarantee the finish for as long as you own the vehicle. Of the thousands of reconditioned hubcaps we sell each year, we have never had one returned due to a finish issue.

AAA estimates that pothole damage costs U.S. drivers $3 billion in vehicle repairs each year. This is the most common reason for wheel repair. Our options listed above will help get your vehicle back to the desired condition.

The answer depends on exactly which hubcap you are ordering. A common misunderstanding of wheel repair is that most hubcaps are made of metal. In fact, the opposite is true. While there are still a few metal hubcaps out there, the vast majority are plastic. If you need help determining if your hubcaps are metal or plastic, we would be happy to assist you.
