A hubcap or hub cap is a decorative disk on an automobile wheel that covers at minimum the central portion of the wheel, called the hub.[1] An automobile hubcap covers the wheel hub and the lug nuts to reduce the accumulation of dirt and moisture. It also decorates the car.[2]
A hubcap is technically a small cover over the center of the wheel, while a wheel cover is a decorative metal or plastic disk that snaps or bolts onto and covers the entire face of the wheel.[3]
