OEM vs Aftermarket

Wheel accessories are divided into two categories: OEM parts and Aftermarket parts. Aftermarket Car Accessories are used in cars to replace the original parts; they are built or manufactured to replace the OE parts as they become worn or damaged. wheel accessories include hubcaps, wheel skins ,wheel simulatorstrim rings ,and there is often overlap between suppliers. Wheel accessories are parts made for comfort, convenience, performance, safety, or customization parts which are designed for add-on service after the original sale of the car.

Hubcapzone.com carries the nation's largest inventory of all these parts. We not only carry factory original parts, but we also have a huge selection of aftermarket and brand new high quality parts for every make and model including RV's and dually trucks.

One of the most costly mistakes people make is thinking they are getting the same level of quality when they buy their hubcaps at a discount store-basically in the box. These kind of products are really cheap knock-offs made in China or Taiwan and are of the thinnest materials. They don't last and more often than not people come to us because they chipped or broke them just trying to install them. You can spot these right off because the clips that hold them onto the wheel are all plastic vs. a metal clip and ring system you get on the real ones. Don't pay double by sliding by with these only to have them pop-off and shatter as soon as you get them, forcing you to have to replace them long before you had planned.

Hubcapzone.com always ships for free and we are available to help with anything from installation to finding the exact hubcap or center cap for your model car whether brand new or classic. We pride ourselves on being at least 30% cheaper than the dealers since we don't have to worry about the enormous overhead they do. Free shipping on all orders in the continental U.S. with no minimum ordering, fleet prices available.
