Hence, from then on I take my hubcaps off, put them in my garage and replace my lug nuts with chrome acorn nuts which cost less than $5 a set versus the $140 worth of hubcaps which sits safely in my garage until I am ready to sell the car. By the way, all 4 of the volvo's which I drove 120,000 miles and sold looked like brand-new and sold for a premium price.
