Hi Mikoto
I think they have made a big mistake, the wheel covers things are called " Hub caps". The center caps are what fits in the center hole of the mag wheel about 50mm diameter.

I hope this helps

Wheel covers cover your wheels.

Hub caps cap your hubs.

So they are right. Most people are wrong, and call wheel covers hub caps...

I think Guran has a good point- there are some other posts recently which make no sense.
