Hubkapslar

Hubkapslar, often referred to as wheel covers or hubcaps, are decorative and protective elements fitted to the exposed hub of a vehicle's wheel. Their primary purpose is to conceal the lug nuts and the wheel hub assembly, presenting a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Historically, hubcaps were often made of metal, designed to protect the wheel bearings from dust and water. Modern hubcaps, however, are predominantly plastic and serve a more cosmetic function, offering an inexpensive way to enhance a vehicle's visual appeal.

These accessories come in a wide variety of designs, mimicking the look of more expensive alloy wheels or featuring unique patterns and finishes. They are typically secured to the wheel rim using clips or by the lug nuts themselves, depending on the design. While they are primarily for show, some hubcaps can offer minor protection against minor scuffs and scratches to the underlying steel wheel. Their affordability makes them a popular choice for car owners looking to personalize their vehicles without the cost of full wheel replacements. Despite their decorative nature, it is important that hubcaps are fitted securely to prevent them from detaching while the vehicle is in motion.
