I just picked up some steel wheels to mount my snow tires. I don't want to use wheel covers because I don't like the look, and I don't want the tips of my halfshafts to rust.

Is there a good solution? I'm picturing a steel cup that would cover the area, like the ones used over the bearings on rear wheel drive cars.

Or is there some sort of cool little hubcap like the ones used on police cruisers?

 

Clean and paint.

 

If I can't find some sort of cap, that's what I'll do.

 

I found a dust cap that fit -- it's a 1 31/32" OD Help part, made for Ford products. I also had to get deeper lug nuts, since the seat on the steel wheels is so much thinner than that on my original aluminum wheels.

Now I'm waiting for snow!

 

Heh, I've already got snow!
