well I'm beginning to think it may be smart to protect my wheel studs from the harsh salt and sand and the easiest option would be to put my chrome hubcaps back on for winter but i've been interested in finding a way to just cover the studs and keep the steel wheel look. I happened across some malibu wheel center caps that screw onto the bolts as my stock hubcaps did. I know they are from malibu rims but I'm curious how well it will fill the center of my steel wheels and if it will fit on my bolts.

Center Caps In Question

I think they will fit the center and i know the bolt pattern is the same. I have something similar on my monte but i have the police center caps and have 16 inch rims though. It looks like this:

I have wanted police center caps but don't have the holes for the screws in my steel wheels

 

they should fit. i'm sure the FWD malibus have the same 15" steelies you do. and they're cheap.


worst case just glue 'em on

 

I just drilled the holes in mine but you have to have the 16 inch steel wheels the 15 won't fit.
