Nay keep the hubcaps on until you can find tires for the 16's, In My Honest Opinion Cars with just pain old steelies look like a pos, broke teanager drives it, you don't give a shet about your car, ect ect

keep the hubcaps if you like the black look go to your local lowes's and pick yourself up some plasti dip and spray them or just use spray paint **note that** the dip comes off if you wanted to ever take it off the hubcaps

I'm with Justin. Depending on what part of the country you're in, driving with just steelies looks like you're driving with your snow tires on, four spare tires, or like Justin said.
