Steelies Vs Hubcabs
 
Just looking for opinions, would it be better to leave my ugly hubcaps on or just run with the Steelies until I can afford rims.

Well what is the magic way to keep your hubbies from making that damn rattle sound when you go over little bumps. It drives me crazy.

I have used double stick tape on another car I had to quite the hubcaps.
I guess it would be the same as padding.
