Are plastic hubcaps impractical?

Wheel Center Caps
In recent years, there has been some prejudice and resistance to plastic hubcaps. So what are the reasons for this situation?

There may be 2 reasons:

1. The first is the concern about the plastic material and durability.
Some people are worried that the plastic material is very fragile, easy to damage, can not withstand daily driving in a variety of impacts and wear and tear, easy to crack, deformation and other problems, affecting the safety of driving.
2. Aesthetics
Some consumers believe that plastic gives a cheap impression, unlike metal hubcaps so upscale, atmospheric, and luxurious visual effects.
Although plastic hubcaps do have some shortcomings, I think the advantages of plastic hubcaps are better than the disadvantages, which can fully meet the demand for the use of automobile hubcaps.

Such as:

1. Corrosion resistance
Compared with metal hubcaps, plastic hubcaps are less prone to rust and corrosion.

3. Low production cost
Plastic hubcaps can be mass-produced by injection moulding and other processes, and the manufacturing cost is lower than that of metal hubcaps.
4. Easy installation and maintenance
Plastic hubcaps are easier and faster to install and remove. Greatly saves maintenance time.

There are also many plastic hubcaps on the market today. The general plastic hubcap is not so fragile unless it has too strong an impact, such as the courier handling parcels too rough, or improper operation when installing or removing the hubcap. Moreover, when the hubcaps of the wheels are lost or damaged, choosing plastic hubcap replacements is both cost-effective and safe for driving. At the same time, plastic hubcaps can also create a metallic visual, such as giving them some surface plating on the outer layer, which feels so bright like a mirror after production.
Plastic hubcaps are still practical for durability and safety in many everyday driving situations. Of course, for some special driving situations, comprehensive considerations still need to be made.
