I wanna buy some nice looking Hubcaps for my Oldsmobile. I found a pretty good looking place that i can buy them from.

They have a whole section for Universal Hubcaps, but then they have this in there review
These hubcaps will fit your vehicle if:
# Your vehicle currently has hubcaps.
# Your hubcaps are not secured by lug nuts.
# Your tire size is 15"
My Hupcaps have lugnuts!!!! Is there anyway to go around this? Thanks for any help.

You may be able to use them with the lug nuts you have, or you may need to replace the lug nuts with standard ones. Some GM wheel covers are attached to the lug nuts, using a plastic screw on lug nut cover. The lug nuts themselves have a thread on the outside so that the wheel covers can be attached, and the lug nuts extend further out than the standard ones!!
If the new wheel covers are blocked by the lug nuts, you can buy the standard (no outside thread) lug nuts at an auto parts store, and replace them!

you can use universal hubcaps , the lugnuts through the caps were just a way of the oem to secure them to the car, for as cheep as aluminum wheels are there as good a choice new r used and they also look better than hubcaps ,weigh less you can get better braking and better aceracion and more mile out of a take of gas
