The original wheel accessory: caps that cover the hub (or the whole wheel face), protecting hardware and defining a car's look since the early 1900s.
Hubcaps protect lug nuts, bearings, and wheel hardware from water, salt, and debris while giving steel wheels a finished face. They range from small center caps to full-face designs, in ABS plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, and chrome finishes. New to the topic? Hubcaps 101 is the definitive starter, and our history page traces them from 1900s brass dust caps to today.
