Why I hate hubcaps
I dont hate them because they are ugly, but I hate them because with rims, you can look through them to check your brakes and not have to take the wheel off, but with hubcaps you cant do that. It makes me mad.

And how are you gonna check your brakes with a wheel on, period? You're going to have to remove an OEM steelie or an actual wheel to check the brakes, espically pad wear.

With most rims, you can just look through them and see the pad wear perfectly and see if anything is wrong. With stock wheels, you cant do that.

Just be happy honda spent some money on hubcaps. I work for toyota and the cars here all have snap-on not screw-on hubs. The damn things fly off, break, and look like they are sticking too far out, all the time. So I am content with mine.
