Hubcap suggestions for snow tires (Canada)

[al_templeton]

Has anyone in Canada found some nice hubcaps for the Mazda5 to cover up ugly tires with steel rims?

Anything at Canadian Tire, Walmart etc???

Any suggestions would be welcome... pics would be even better.

Thanks, AL

I saw the original ones at the Mazda Dealership. The kind where there is even the holes for the lugnuts . And of course the MAZDA logo in the center hub. Around 100-150$? Very good looking.

I prefer the steelies look though. Where we are, it is the winter 'dress-code'
for vehicles. We wear them with pride.

Thanks Skyhawk,
The Mazda hubcaps sound good especially with the holes for lug nuts because I really don't want to buy some hubcaps at Crappy Tire just to lose them, the Mazda ones with lug nut holes could'nt fly off... how I can locate the Mazda ones you are referring to? Are they on the web?

Thanks, AL

Reginamazda.com in Saskatchewan. I saw the hubcaps on display in the dealership about a month ago when I went for oil change. I don't see it in their websites. I think its one of those products that comes and goes. They have winter tires on steelies on display and with the hubcap to make it attractive. I suggest try visiting your nearest mazda dealership.

You Saskatchewanian guys are so hardcore.

OK, I'll check at the dealer, there's one near me in Kingston, thanks for the info.

My local Mazda dealer was selling 2010 Mazda 3 16" hubcaps for $90 CAD + tax.

Yeah I called Mazda in Kingston today and they have some for $91, however they are only open from 8:00 to 5:00 on weekdays, no evenings and no Saturdays or Sundays. Since I can't get there during their times I'll have to find another dealer.

I've now decided to go to Ottawa Mazda and get them there (it's the same distance for me as Kingston). They are open on Saturdays so I can pick-up the hub caps, floor mats and get a new key made all on a Saturday morning.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Forgot to ask, do you have OE or aftermarket steelies? OE hubcaps will almost only go on OE steelies.

+1, I bare naked steelies with pride. It's common in BC too.

Ummm... Hubcaps for Mazda 5

Hope that helps? (google)

Peace!(rei)

Sgt_Okinawa was that necessary? Yes perhaps people should Do their own research but sometimes people need a bit of guidance and some of us have knowledge to share. This is why we have a forum, to discuss things.

Not only that, but ironically if one follows the search link that the Sarge provided, the top hit is this thread. In google's eyes this thread is the font of all knowledge snow-tire-hub-cap related.

Lol I noticed that.

Imagine being in I dunno New York and asking a stranger, "Where's the best pizza around here?" and the stranger pulls out his phone and replies, "Here, let me Google that for you!"

Not too far fetched, DKaz

I hear ya, point taken. I had googled it but sometimes the anecdotal info that you get from another Mazda5 owners is really helpful and tells you a lot more than some website that just wants to sell you something!

That's good to know. I am getting the hubcaps from a used car dealer that deals almost exclusively with Mazdas that have come off lease. He had 130+ Mazdas on the lot when I was there.

So, I think that the rims are OE but how can I tell? Will they be stamped "Mazda" somewhere on them?
