They are something I definitely will do; the only thing is, I don't think the alloy wheels can take hubcaps. I'd like to get a set of steel wheels, but that would be money. I'd like to make the alloy rims smooth, but that would involve things I'm not entirely comfortable with, like epoxying plastic panels into the openings, or drilling holes into the tops of the lugs and epoxying nuts into them as attachment points. If you have an easier (and reversible, and pothole/sun/wind proof) solution, please let me know.
