Read wheel hub covers

Post by Pinkythelabrat »

What do people do about the rear wheel centres?

So you have covers over the hub nut? If so, what and where from?

Is your castle nut exposed? Ooeer!

My van came with only a speedo hub cover but I’m told keeping grit out of the wheel bearings is quite important so I’ve got another front hub cover for the other side but rear covers don’t seem to be a thing.

Any advice and tips are welcome. :D

Yes. It’s got alloys with a spacer so you can see the castle nut.

I got some little rubber caps but I realise now that steel wheels won’t have this issue.

Rubber caps it is. :D
