Default Hubcaps

Hi everyone!

I just got an XJ a few days ago. I had a TJ before, but unfortunately I was in an accident and it was totaled.

My XJ came with these really shiny hubcaps, which I don't really like. Would it be possible for me to put some old hubcaps like these on:

I've always liked the look of those.

Also, I've found that the steering is a little stiff. Any idea what this could be?

I don't think those will work, but why not paint your wheels(or at least paint the hub caps).

Paint them a darker metallic gray.

check your front axle shaft ujoints if your steering is stiff. Take off the chrome hubcaps and paint your wheels

I would remove the hub caps and repaint the steel wheels. Find someone with the same wheels and trade them your hubcaps for their center caps. The old style 1970's cap will not fit these wheels.
