my wheels are kinda messed up, and i find them ugly, and im in college and paying tuition/everything myself, so i can't afford new ones..

I realized there are wheel covers i can attach to my existing wheels.

Does anyone know a good place for good camry 2001 model 15" wheel covers?

thanks a lot!

Heh, just leave the steelies showing. It's no big deal.
Or go eBay.

if you see a car with the same covers why not just go and "borrow" them?

if you leave the stealies, people might think you're a sleeper!

Guys, don't even think about that !!!!! Imagine if somebody did that to ur car what would u do ?? That's what gonna happen if do that. I'd like to have somebody try that on my rims, it's been a long time since I've kicked sum ass, and I'm looking forwar to it !!
IMO, better get some from a junkyard if u can't afford new ones !

I gues ill take a look around the junkyard first, then look for the covers..

It depends on the type . Some of them come out easily just by pulling on one side but there are some that u have to remove the lug nuts to take them out.

The new style is to have 4 mismatching hubcaps.

Hell Yeah! One of my OEM hubcap got cracked from a wheel that fell off a freakin pickup in front of me on the Highway. I bought 4 new ones off of ebay that was suppose to be the right size but they don't fit too well. Any way I cracked one trying to get it in so I was like WTF. As soon as we get our second car I gonna rip all that stuff off, and roll on stealies. And when I go wash the car I'm still gonna get the tire/rim wash special. YEAH!!!

the reason i am on steelies now is because somebody came along and stole 2 of mine of off the passenger side. so speaking from experience it feels like sh*t to have something stolen off of your car even if they are just plain boring factory wheel covers.

so i got a deal on some old school BBS rims that i am custom painting right now and bought some wheel locks to keep them there

Later,

My friend's brother bought a Sentra (the sportiest one i think), but I guess while it was sitting in the lot someone jacked it up and stole the rims and left it on cement blocks. They didn't tell him so he drove it around for a while with some other rims and then returned it. Must suck for the dealer to lose money on a brand new car being turned into a new one in just a week or two. Oh well, dealers are assholes anyway, except I think he was working there.
