Rim covers
The original hubcaps on my Integra are getting pretty worn and scratched..so I was wanting to get a new cheap set from Pep Boys or something. I've seen that they have some 14" ones, but will they fit? I didn't really check to see if they were the 4 bolt ones or not..
On top of that..how will they look? The ones I've seen have a nice metallic look to them, and definitely are an improvement than my dull scratched up ones..

I would sooner run the bare steelies then put those plastic things on. I have two reasons...
1. They look bad
2. They fall off
Waste of money IMO. You could probably get a nice set of used GSR 15"s for pretty cheap if you shop around.

actually, if you wanna stick to just hubcaps then go buy some original ones. why? it is more secure because the hubcaps are held in place by the plastic flange on the lugnuts (i think that comment about hubcaps falling off is untrue). most other hubcaps are held on by friction so they can be stolen. you can buy used sets too to save some money...
these are my all time faves...

if you don't mind honda hubcaps with the H emblem (not sure if all of these use lugnut flanges)...
90-91 civic sedans with locking cover
5th gen si/ex

del sol and 3rd gen lude work as well.

The non factory Pep Boys type Hubcaps are "snap-on" secured. Hit a pot hole, and watch em' roll away.
Patrick is on to something, why not paint your current caps, and save money for some wheels?
Ultimately you will want wheels. In most cases they are lighter in weight, better looking, and accomodate wider, stickier tires.
