Does It Matter If the Hubcap Falls Off?

No, it doesn't matter. Additional information: The purpose of the hubcap: To cover the central hole and axle head components, mainly for aesthetic and moisture-proof purposes. After applying anti-rust treatment inside, the color may turn yellow, which looks unattractive, so it's primarily used to cover imperfections. Inspection impact: Generally, losing a hubcap won't affect vehicle inspection if the requirements aren't strict. However, it's recommended to replace it for both aesthetic reasons and to avoid potential delays during inspection. Replacement issue: It can be replaced, but hubcaps aren't universal. Different wheel rims have different clips and inner diameters, so various hubcaps and center hole covers need to match specific wheel shapes and sizes.
