I realize how novice this question is, but I've never had to deal with it before. I am still driving a 2005 Pontiac Grand Am and will be until I secure my teaching job hopefully this summer or fall. I may keep the car for a while after that, depending on how far I have to drive. All four of the wheel covers have come off and with everything going on this year I have not taken the time to replace them. It's really bugging me, as I look like someone preparing to knock off a gas station every time I gas up, and I want to get some new ones for the vehicle.
The question is, will most any 15-inch wheel cover work for my car? The original wheel covers for this model had lug nut covers (5) that helped secure the covers, and I know they make the replacement models that will require these lug nut covers. I think there are two usual cover models for this car, but when I look around there are many options that supposedly will work for any 15-inch wheel.
Anyone with any specific knowledge or experience with this? I found some nice looking models that reportedly work with my model car that also use the lug nut covers and are just $10 apiece on E-bay, and I'd have to buy the lug nut covers for an additional $20-$30 somewhere else. But the usual factory replacement wheel covers run about $20-$30 more most places I've found online. And the bigger question is, will most of the advertised wheel covers from places that supposedly fit my car model specifically work, and I wouldn't need the lug nut covers if the other covers work?
Thanks for any input on this. I'm kind of embarrassed I don't know this - my dad owned and operated a full service gas station when I was growing up and he dealt with this stuff all the time. I clearly didn't learn enough valuable lessons from him growing up... sad.
