Buggies Unlimited front & rear hub covers
Can anyone tell me the over-all diameter of their colored hub covers for the 10" wheels ?

There is a rim that I feel is a better product for the same effect.


Otherwise, you can measure the inner radius of the back of your rim. Measure from center to the inner edge. Then 22/7 x r (squared) = diameter

22/7 = pi (3.14)

Nice wheels. I've never seen those before.

Thanks Mr. Spriddle

Those come in Gold, Blue, Black, Red.... and I think lime green

Here is a set of the blue ones on a car that I built for someone (Sorry for the poor light... The Boss has us work M-F, but I used to go in and build some of the project cars on the weekends anyway)

Those really set a cart off. Are they comparable in price with most other rims and where could we find these?

They are about $500 cheaper than Fairway Alloy, they run about $400 if I remember correctly... and that is mounted on a set of 22" All Trail tires.

Stand alone, I believe they go for around $280 with center caps, chrome valve stem covers, and 16 chrome lug nuts. I don't deal with the prices at all, so I will have to check to give a more accurate price

I do not believe they are availible for individual retail... They come from a place in Arkansas on turn key cars .... The company they come from is like Cart Parts (not CPP ).

It really surprises me how many aftermarket companies there are that sell only to "Dealers". I really think that is one reason why companies like CPP and BU do well with their sales volume.

Be carefull for which hubcaps you get or should I say watch them. Mine popped off the same day I installed them. I really wish I could find a decent set of 10" hubs also.

I belive he was talking about the backing plates that you install on the hub, before putting the tire on... was I mistaken? By backing plate I mean a colored round plate that gives the effect of having a painted inner rim?

E-Z-GO has a set of 10" wheel covers (hub caps) that have a fake bead-lock appearance..... They look like these rims (except these are machined aluminum and not wheel covers):
