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.

I have a feeling that they have a big knife too. Maybe you can invest in a couple of cans of black lacquer spray paint costs about the same as all other quality spray paint like Rust-Oleum .Home Depot will have it Lowes etc. Won't fall off stays pretty shiny. Silver lasts a while too. Or chrome is really shiny. Buy some cheap masking tape so your tire doesn't look redneck with intermittent over spray. Those type of hubcaps after removing them once it twice they tend to fall off easier.. like every pot hole or hard sharp turn. You might be a redneck of you paint a coil or spiral on your wheel for that twilight zone look. If a junk yard is near by hub caps there. If you get unmatched put 2 on one side that match and same on the other. That's about every hillbilly trick I know. Mr low rent here at your service.
