Dust caps for winter wheels

[ShawnWhite78]

Ok so not really sure what too call what I'm after but I just installed the winter steel wheels on my 21 high altitude and. Looking too cover the center hub Sections where the front axle nuts are aswell as the rears . They look absolutely terrible. Has anyone ever found a dust cap or something along those lines too hide and keep crap out of the bearing center? Any help is appreciated.... Thanks everyone cheers!

Hub caps. That's the literal function of what you're asking about.

The black hub caps that were on my OEM steel wheels fit fairly well on the steel wheels on which my winter tires are mounted. We seem to have the same style of the winter wheel, so consider seeking out a set of the black caps for your use case.

Oh, and don't forget to remove the wheel lock key.

Lol already put the key away, good eye! Really all I'm after is too cover the bearing opening tho . If at all possible without using a full size hub cap.

While the demand is probably modest, a fellow with a 3D printer and a bit of skill could probably design what you're after here.

If all you're looking for are the center caps, couldn't you just look up the manufacturer of the wheel and get some from them? Unless I am understanding what you're asking for incorrectly.

My winter wheel/tire combo came from Tire Rack. When I asked, they told me that center caps weren't available for this particular wheel, which is unbranded. That's why I mentioned their compatibility with the OEM hub caps that accompany the factory steel wheels.

The OP has what appears to be the same wheel, or something very similar, thus his inquiry.

@ShawnWhite78 You can go with this cap. It is OE for Jeep and is held on by the lug nuts. You can find them on eBay cheap enough.

Gosh, if only someone had mentioned that sooner...

You can always really make people wonder what the hell ?? By putting a set of bearing buddies on it.

You can’t use the generic push through type, as the wheel is hubcentric.

@Heimkehr ...Just in case someone needed a visual!

I def misunderstood what you were saying lol I thought you meant a whole hub cap too cover the entire rim.

Now that would look good! Just spray the area with a sticky rust preventative like Fluid Film, Wool Wax or any of the others that are on a seperate post here. Find a set off of a old Jeep Grand Wagoneer and you will be styling. Seriously if you spray it with a preventive you may need to reapply but it will help from any more rust and look better. Some sprays come in black
