Hubcap removal or not? That is the question. Fiesta S
 
I'm wondering if removing my factory hubcaps will be of benefit or leaving them on is better ? I could care less about looks.

Do you have a picture of the hubcaps? I would say, leave them on. Most hubcaps are better than no hubcaps.

FordFiestaS 09-20-2014 05:34 PM

Pictures yes but...
 
I only have a cell phone and I cannot seem to be able to upload photos from it to this site. So for now I'll take your advice and leave them on. Thx.

Are these the hubcaps that your vehicle has?

No. I so wish I could upload photo. Your very kind looking. I'll poke around for a link to a photo. Give me some time. Thx much.

Here's a link to them.

Hey look at that a picture. Cool. So that's them.

They seem more or less flat, I'd say leave them on.

Same as mine, I left them alone. Sold and retired my 2011 Fiesta today, averaged 46.9 MPG (US) for 27k miles with the powershift (auto). Held on by the lug nuts.

If you're not hung up on looks, why not modify them to make them smooth? You could zip tie a coroplast disc to those or mount some pizza pans on 'em (4 or 5 small screw holes).
