Anyone know a place to get used hubcaps?

One of the moon craters on Southwyck Blvd destroyed one of my hubs. Does anyone know a place around town(especially around South Toledo) where I could get a good used replacement? Thanks.

Here's an idea, but it is a little time consuming. Call ahead to a couple of junk yards, whoops, they call them recycled car yards now. They will probably tell you to stop in and take a look at what they have. Sometimes you can find exactly what you want, sometimes it is better to buy a set of 4. Check into it.
Now, depending on what type car you have, you might be better off buying an aftermarket set from an auto parts store because certain hubcaps are very hard to find.
Whatever you do, don't go to a dealer unless you really, really, want the exact same replacement and don't mind paying top dollar for it.
Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Spud's is by you(their service is so bad it's funny) or you can buy some new ones from Murray or Autozone. Or you can use my car for parts, which seems to happen every so often.

Not around town, but EBay usually has any hubcap. They're not around town, but I found it to be the cheapest place when I had to get a hubcap.

I got mine at Manatee Motors on Alexis - they dont advertize that they have hubcaps, but theyve got a TON of them in a back building. They sold me one for cheap too
