Hi All, like the thread title says the clip on one of my hubcaps is cracked and I'm wondering if it can be fixed. I have attached some photos.

Not much can be done. This happened on FIL's car and had to find a new one at $90!

Can't be fixed but go to some tyre shops...They generally have a stash of hubcaps that customers leave behind when they get new mags fitted or have stuffed a couple and decide to say fluck it, keep them

If it’s only one or two tabs, I found that using tough cloth type duct tape to hold the broken tabs in position works okay. The steel ring retains them once the cap is fitted to the rim.

Ultimately, replacement caps are the way to go - and avoid hitting curbs in the future which is probably what broken them!
