I had all four hubcaps stolen off of my Mitsubishi Galant today. Why do
people steal hubcaps?

Anyway, replacement factory hubcaps are way too expensive, but I was looking
at some replic hubcaps online instead. Has anyone ever purchased replica
hubcaps? Is the quality the same as a regular hubcap?

Sorry for the crosspost.

That is why I always get alloy wheels. In the long run it is usually
cheaper, and obviously better looking.

For the same reason some punk has now stolen two (2) ram's-head hood
ornaments off my Dodge truck.

"Replica" of what? You're looking at universal aftermarket wheel covers.
Most of them are made in China. What kind of quality is it you're
interested in knowing about?
