Hubcap question. Need someone’s help.

Ok, so I broke a hubcap and they are factory so they are Honda’s bolt-on hubcap and I really don’t want to spend $65 a piece for new ones. But I recently spray painted my rims black with the plasti dip idea and it turned out wonderful but I hate seeing my car without hubcaps it looks stupid. So my question is, since it’s really hard to find black bolt on 14 inch 4 lug hubcaps, will the universal ones fit? Or would I be better off buying some cheesy chrome ones that are bolt on and call it a day?

My local pick-a-part has the hub cap price listed as $5.99.

So nobody knows if the universal cheap ones at the part store will fit if they are the pop on ones?

Re: Hubcap question. Need someone’s help.

they'll fit but they're way more likely to fall off because they're not held on with the lugs like the oem ones

So since it’s nearly impossible to find decently cheap hubcaps for my car that are bolt on, could I convert to the snap on style by changing my lugnuts to a shorter type so the hubcap will fit?

Re: Hubcap question. Need someone’s help.

there's no junkyards near you?
if Fit's came with 14" wheels those will work as well.
can try car-part.com also.
the aftermarket ones don't fit?
Honda uses ball end lugnuts instead of the normal acorn type, im not sure if they make open end ones with the ball

eBay?

Pull the other 3 off then it will look more balanced lol

The universal ones should fit. If not just return them.
