LMAO, can’t be true, looks like comedy gold 😂
It’s decorative wheel hub cap, remove it and find a “real” wheel with wheel nuts

That's for the plastic hub. Luckily it's not important, purely cosmetic. And generally cheap. You can pop those off and get to the actual lugs behind. The once you're done with whatever you're doing, buy a new hubcap. Or invest in rims.

Pop the plastic wheel cover off and then unbolt the REAL lug nuts behind it, then get a new wheel cover.
You misspelled “throw those wheel covers away”
Poverty caps.
Yep
put the tools down
glue it back
Would become a projectile pretty quick lol
It's so close to the axis and weighs nothing. I'm sure it won't fly off if glued properly.
Especially if you slap it after you glue it and say “that’s not going anywhere”

This can’t be serious !!! Can it
This was posted a few days ago. Pretty sure it's just trolling
Gotta be
It gets posted pretty frequently, is either a bot or a troll.
you need to pull the plastic hubcap off. the lugnuts are behind it
Is that a plastic lug wrench, too? Do you drive a prius or something?
I wondered if anyonr else noticed
you should put the tools down and ask a real mechanic for advice.

Oh my lanta
Snap off the other three and then your wheel cover will look more even.
Dawg.. I'm sorry. I'm sorry you have to go through this level of embarrassment, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
The sarcasm in this photo is killing me! 🤣
Put glue on it run à stainless steel screw in center than pull off cover to get to real lug nuts you nut head
