Help me pick my hubcaps

No, not spinnas!

I see a good deal in the FS forums over at ClubSI.com.... Someone's selling new hubcaps, and I thought I'd grab some for my winter black steelies for $40-50.

Now, I don't know the exact YEAR these are supposed to be, but these are all Civic hubcaps... They will be going on my 2001 Acura EL (silver).

I'm eyeballing "1.jpg" ... I think they're the "FLAT" SIR lookalikes...

Note, they could potentially be replicas... Not that I really care.

For the pros out there, maybe you can list out which model/year each hubcap came from

For you hubcap users... How the hell do I put them on, just line it up and tap it in? Do I need any tools/parts? Do I need to take out the lugnuts or does this go over top? (I don't think so).... I'm a newb at hubcaps, I have 15" OEM alloys

Yeah you have to take off the lug nuts before you can put these hub caps on. That's a good thing in a way though, and that's why you never see a honda hub cap falling off a wheel.

I like all of the hub caps, but if I were to choose, I'd take the one on the left even though that pic is very blurry.

I also think 1 and 2 are the same thing from the 2002 LX. Thats what came with my car and I use them in the winter. They look fine on a silver car.

Number 3 looks like the 01-03 Si rims.
