Mazda 6 Hub Caps

Mazda 6 hubcaps are made of high-density, high-impact, durable plastic. They serve to protect the bearings and lug nuts on your vehicle’s wheels, and they also add to the overall attractiveness of your vehicle.

These terms are often used interchangeably but technically refer to different parts of your Mazda. Here is a quick guide that explains the different features and uses of these products.

• Hubcaps are coverings intended to protect the centerpiece of the wheel bearings and lug nuts.
• Wheel covers extends outward and protects the entire surface of the wheel, including the wheel bearings and lug nuts.
• Center caps are simply smaller hubcaps intended to cover and protect only the very center bearings.
• Wheel skins were designed as a way to dress-up plain Mazda alloy wheels, which lack the features to accommodate a hubcap.

A Mazda 6 hubcap comes in standard tire sizes. A 14-inch tire takes a 14-inch hubcap. A 15-inch takes a 15-inch hubcap, and so forth. Check the size of your tires to determine the size of the hubcaps you will need. On every tire, you can find a series of letters and numbers. The size of the tire is indicated by the number that appears after the letter R in this series. For example, if the series reads P215/65 R15, then your tire size is 15 inches.

The term hubcap tool usually refers to a rubber mallet, which was once needed to force metal hubcaps on. However, plastic Mazda 6 hubcaps are easily installed by hand. A certain style of hubcap called a locking hubcap does require a tool, called a key, to install and remove. The key, along with the locking hubcap, is usually supplied by the automotive manufacturer.

• Consumer grade wheel covers are made from low-cost, usually recycled plastic.
• Professional grade Mazda wheel covers, whether from the original automotive manufacturer or a third-party vendor, are constructed of flexible, high-impact plastic with a base-coat/clear-coat finish for extended durability.

• First, make sure that the hubcaps or wheel covers are evenly and snugly fitted all the way around. Uneven installation is the number one reason for lost covers.
• Be careful not to bump curbs. This is the second most common reason for lost covers.
