at our last meet, I noticed PULOVR had on steelies with hub caps on em...they looked tiny...like 175/80/13's...hehehehe...no offense PULOVR, but, I thought it kinda looked funny...especially since your car is lowered with a kit...now you'll be "snow-mobiling" all over the place....(if you look at it, you'll know) but, it's all good if you don't have a choice cause some of us don't. I was forced to buy new all seasons this season...oh wells, I'll be putting on my new rims after the season is over....Motegi MR7's in Anthacite. they look sweet.

QUESTION regarding hubs --

Last winter, I took a turn too fast and i curbed right into a pile of snow. The result -- the hub cab ripped and now is cracked. The lesson learned -- take corners slower and this year i'm going to take off my hubs so that doesn't happen again.

The question is:
How do i take off the hubs? Do they come right off if you pop them off? How do you take them off without potentially damaging the hubs?

Thanks.

Honda hub caps stay on by the wheel nuts. When you take off the wheel nuts, the hub cap comes off as well, you just yank it out, its not held on very tight when the wheel nits are off.

yep, just put back on the lugs...right onto the steelie. but if you have silver steelies, paint them black.
