Just one small correction, however. They do sell snap-on type smoothy hubcaps for 16" wheels as well. Here is one example:
16" Stainless Steel Racing Disc Hubcaps Wheel Covers 4 : eBay Motors (item 170476457402 end time May-22-10 08:25:05 PDT)
FWIW, I've found that searching for "racing hubcaps" returns better results than
something like "smooth hubcaps".
Yes, but over time the little metal teeth get bent and don't hold the covers anymore. It cost me a lot of $ when I kept losing them.
