Hyundai Accent Hub Caps
If you own a car, you take pride in how it runs and its visual appeal. Hub caps play an important role in how your Hyundai Accent model sedan functions and looks. In fact, one of the easiest ways to upgrade the look of your Accent is to install new hub caps.
What is a wheel cover?A wheel cover is the same thing as a hub cap. They are both functional and aesthetic. Wheel covers were created to keep grime, dirt, and other road debris away from your brakes and hub assembly, therefore protecting it. However, they also hide unsightly parts such as the wheel itself and the lugnuts. They can even be customized to your preferences for more visual appeal.
Do you measure your old hubcap to find the size?You do not need to measure your old Hyundai Accent hub caps in order to find what size you need. In fact, you do not need to measure anything. You simply need to look at the tires on your Hyundai Accent. There you will notice a number such as P175/65/R17. The last number in this set represents the size wheel cover you need in inches. In this case, you would need a 17-inch hubcap. However, most Hyundai Accent vehicles require a 14-inch or 15-inch wheel cover. Be sure you purchase the right size so that your wheel covers fit and stay correctly in place.
What kind of hubcaps do you need?You have many options when it comes to purchasing hubcaps. Once you ensure that you are purchasing the right size, your options are wide open. Here are factors you may want to consider when making a purchase:
- Materials: Do you want metal or plastic? Each has their own benefits. For instance, plastic is lightweight and easy to install. Metal is durable and long-lasting.
- OEM or Aftermarket: You have the option to choose original equipment manufacturer (OEM) hub caps or another brand, referred to as aftermarket. If you want the Hyundai logo on your wheel covers, you will need to purchase OEM.
- Color and Finish: You can select from many different colors and finishes when it comes to wheel covers for your car. Some Accent owners stick with neutral colors like silver, black, or white. Others choose bolder colors like pink, blue, or red. You can match the color of your Hyundai or choose another color that complements it.
- Design: There are many different designs such as those that feature spokes or have different shapes in them.
