Everything costs more through the dealership. Go to a junkyard or find a place that sells used hubcaps. They are way cheaper.

I'm not familiar with that vehicle. What cracked? Your existing hub cap or the wheel? If that car doesn't have hub caps but nice wheels and you've cracked one, it must be replaced. The hub is the part at the middle where the wheel connects to the spindle/axle. Fancy wheels are intended to be decorative on their own. The hub cap is to cover the hub on a plain steel wheel which is not particularly attractive. Hub caps are decorative only.

HUB CAPS?? You can get a set of 4 hub caps at meijers for $50 or less. That's a lot less than 4 tires.

You must be buying expensive hub caps or really cheap tires.
Aluminium rims are costly but hub caps can be purchased for as little a s$10 each.

They don't, unless you insist on getting the ones that scream "Steal me now!"
Go look in the auto parts aisle at Wal-Mart for the cheap plastic ones.

Because someone is trying to send these suburban gangsta wanna-bes a message that they're freakin' STOOPID trying to make their Ward-Cleever-mobile look like a ghetto cruiser...

Because people loose them.
Invest in a set of wheels. if they fall off you have real problems.
