Hi, somebody stole the center caps off of my Accent's wheel covers so I'm looking to buy new bolt on style wheel covers, but ones without center caps. What options do I have? I can only find ones with the removable center caps online. Will hubcaps from other Hyundai models fit... assuming they have the same wheel size?

Those from other Hyundais might fit... As long as the wheel covers are the same size and bolt pattern you should be alright. I'm guessing that most 4-lug Hyundais would have the same bolt pattern.

Yeah it looks like the 08 Accent's have one-piece hub caps. That's what I need. Anyone know a cheap place to get them online?

Does anyone know where I can find the one-piece Accent hubcaps? I called a few local Hyundai dealers and all they have is the kind with the removable center piece.

you sure theyre stolen?
2 of mine went missing, turned out the plastic tabs did not hold them on tight enough..
so after my two new center caps came in under warranty i applied heat to all 4 caps tangs and spred outwards more and ran under cold water.
now they are on nice and tight, no play or movement like before when i would touch with my finger

LOL, I've seen those brought up a time or two on hypermiler discussions, reduced wind drag... totally get 'em. :grin:

hyunnychub has a good point, is it possible they flew off and weren't stolen? that'd be a good warranty claim if so. but if all 4 are missing, hard time proving that.

I wonder what the going rate is for some cheap plastic wheel centers off of a Hyundai wheel cover on the black market? It must be a bunch, otherwise why is it even worth somebody's time to steal stuff like this? :blink:

They cost 50 bucks each new apparently. They were stolen for sure. I've only had the car a month -- they all disappeared at the same time.
