Help!
I need advice about hubcaps. I live in a neighborhood where people often steal hubcaps off the wheels of cars. I am considering putting zip ties on the hubcaps of my car so the thieves will avoid my car and go to easier targets. My car is pretty dumpy and the hubcaps sometimes fall off anyways, but I had the hubcaps stolen twice too. Is putting zip ties to connect the hubcaps to the wheel a good idea? All info would be appreciated.

Not a good idea: will make it much more difficult to change the tire when you get a flat.

2 better options;
---remove the hubcaps / wheel covers
---replace steel wheels (which have hubcaps / wheel covers) with alloy wheels (which don't require hubcaps / wheel covers)
@thisguy20All your advice was greatly appreciated. I feel that you are completely correct. No zip ties. Sadly some of my neighbors have already put zip ties on their hubcaps because they didn't have access to your most excellent wisdom!
