    well i was riding around town and i came up on a 05 or newer looking VN volvo which had some bad ### rear axle wheel covers that looked to be stainless or chrome they looked to be metal and not plastic. these things covered the axle end and lugnuts all together, they were on a 22" wheel so they looked kinda funny but on a 24.5 should look awesome.

    can anyone or does anyone know what im talking about what brand they might be?

    any help would be great.

    those will work for me as well wow i like them to. The ones i saw on this volvo were like 8-10" in diamter the whole way back they looked as if the outer shell popped off as there was a seam. but those will work to who sells them.

    Ohhhh!!! Yeah I know what ones your talking about now. You've probably got stud piloted wheels like mine as well though so good luck. www.bigrigchromeshop.com www.4statetrucks.com Those are who I'd try, seems to me the first place has more odds n ends stuff. Goodluck

    iowa 80 has them any chrome shop really most metal ones our a little pain to put on depending on what wheels you have. something i learned the hard way. wheels have differnt center holes. if you have the bigger whole its easy. unbolt the wheels pull outside off slide in sleeve and put wheel back on and rebolt. if you have the smaller you may.....may need to have the center opened up. its like a 1/16 of an inch diffence in the centers but enough to make you throw them brand new center caps out the window....

    i dont understand carkool im not referring to the normal rinky dinky caps you put on the outside of the axle, these cover wheel lugs center and everything but you still see deisgn of the wheel it looks as if someone put a small chrome garbage can over it lol.

    yea its 2 peices the can part that covers the hub than a hub cover that goes on the can. they are great. all i am saying is you need to check your wheels. you may have to shave the rims center alittle. rims come with different center hub holes. the smaller one is to tight for the centers to slide through. the can design slides through the rim center. some have a small lip others have a full bolt pattern that goes in between the rims and dont ratle. best IMO.

    note the beauty ring according to my last ticker cant be on the inside/showing of the wheel. as you can not inspect the wheel for cracks....
