Rim Caps

[xXManwhoreXx]

Can you get different caps for the stock rims of an Alero.. so it "looks" like you have new rims?

[[ion] C2]

dumbest idea ever

EDIT: Wait, you mean you have HUBcaps, and want to get a different hubcap? Then yes, you can. I thought you were talking about the CENTER caps in the stock wheels. If you're rolling on steelies, better to just put the money away towards some real wheels.

:haha: while your at it get the spinning one's......

it looks like he has actual rims....


and as far as i know, you can't just change the center lug covers.... i have 2 different sets of stock rims, and even their center caps aren't interchangeable.

[[ion] C2]

alright, then i stand by my original post

unbelieveably dumb idea

[adam337]

i dont understand wtf he wants..?

[[ion] C2]

changing out the center caps that cover the lugnuts with something aftermarket so it "looks" like you have different/cool new wheels.

[cherrington17]

if there was a "universal" tire that could have something put on it to make it look like your changing your rims... when your actually just covering your lugs... isn't a TERRIBLE idea. probably make some money off inventing that...




oh wait.... hubcaps already exist. :lol:


ion, stop bashing the kid. its not the DUMBEST ever, we've all read worse.. when your young and don't make enough cash to really be able to feasibly save alot, you dream of cheap things to hopefully make it look better.

[xXManwhoreXx]

yea for real Ion, I don't know what your problem is with me but if you don't like my question than dont answer it. Why do you always have to be such a douche about everything. Its obvious your just one of the CS queers who talks crap from behind thier computers. I'll be at ASS, ill see you there.

One of my caps in chipped and looks bad and I figured I might as well see if I could just replace them.

and its not that, I just hate the olds symbol... i love the cars though :-/

[cherrington17]

you MIGHT be able to swap with another version of olds center cap....

but it looks like you have the shinier silver/chrome/whatver rims, where mine are just the plain cheap ones.... i don't think there were different versions of the shinier ones. i could be wrong.

you can replace the cap with the same thing... but at the cost, why bother?

LMFAO, who's the e-thug now? You'll "see me there." I'll GLADLY fight you if that is your intention in your threat. :lol:

I stated an opinion, changing center caps out to make it "look" like you have cool wheels is a dumb idea, period. Just because cherry comes in and tells me to stop bashing you doesn't mean I even bashed you, I said the IDEA was dumb, to change out center caps to make it look like you have new wheels is, frankly, a dumb idea.

Why no hate for paulyb who also mocked the concept? You're the one who has a problem with me. I don't play Counter-Strike. When I do play online games, I keep completely silent, and love pissing off people who talk shit by letting my kills do the talking.

I usually help people with what they want, but if something's a bad idea I'm going to say it, not sugar coat it and make you feel good just because you think it's a good idea.

Where else did I say anything against you in ANY other post?

[cavaliers60]

If you have the rims I have, you could probably just pop the olds symbol off.... I don't know if it can be done as I never tried, but you could look into that.... Are these the ones you have???

[adam337]

...i still dont understand. you want the center cap to cover each spoke and look like a new rim? or just a new center cap with a pretty star in the middle instead of the olds symbol.. what?

[cavaliers60]

He probably just wants a new center cap that doesn't have the olds symbol or something.... honestly, it's still going to look the same... It just won't have the olds symbol on it....

[99-alero]

honestly jsut rock the stocks till you save up cash for rims

Just from looking at that it looks like if your were able to pop it off there would still be an oval impressin there, and would have to make something custome to go in there. Personally I would leave it alone. Unless they make a complete replacement which I doubt.

[troyertrain]

the center caps (even for the chrome wheels) are plastic, and the olds symbol is molded on there, so you can't pop it off...

[xXManwhoreXx]

yea, its not really a big deal, i just wanted to know if it was possible, and yea they are plastic, and they chip easily
