Are Hubcaps and Wheels the Same Thing? Difference Between Rims & Hubcaps - Hubcaps.com

Welcome to another Hubcaps.com video! This one is in answer to a question that is asked quite a bit by our customers. Are hub caps and rims the same thing? As you can see in the video, they are not the same at all!
A wheel cover or hubcap is one solid plastic or metal piece that fits over the wheel. They can either bolt on, screw on or pop on depending on the make and model of the vehicle. They are entirely for aesthetic purposes.
A rim or wheel is what the tire is fitted on to and what the hubcap will sit on in order to make the vehicle look nicer.
These two items work together but actually have two different functions. Without rims, you are not able to drive your car or truck whereas with a hubcap missing (although a little ugly) it will not affect the function of your vehicle’s driving ability.
