hub caps
Wheel center covers
Hub caps are the decorative covers that fit over the center of a car wheel, concealing the lug nuts and hub assembly.
They serve mainly aesthetic purposes, giving wheels a finished look.
Hub caps are typically made of plastic or metal and snap or screw into place.
They're prone to popping off when hitting curbs or potholes: I lost a hub cap on the highway.
