Would these hubcaps have to be removed for the NCT?

According to the NCT, hubcaps must be removed unless the lug nuts are visible.

Yes would have to come off, they are covering lug nuts.

It's the hub cap, that's one piece it all pulls off.

Are they the steel wheel nuts or are they plastic covers.
If they are steel you can leave them on as the nut is visible

Plastic, complete cover.

The lug nuts in the picture are actual lug nuts, they’re actual metal and it clings when you tap the key off it.

They appear to be protruding through an orifice in the hubcap.

If they are steel wheel nuts and they are holding on the hubcap you can leave them on.
The civic with steel rims and plastic hubcaps had that set up and you hadn’t to take them off.

Stand corrected, they can stay on so, the nuts as said are holding the cover in.

Isambard · 29-01-2021 8:18pm

if it were my car I'd take them off.

and leave em off ! :-)

That's a deceptive photo but they are the real wheel nuts visable, so those hub caps can stay.

Passed this morning.

Lug nuts? Seriously? Is this a Bruce Springsteen song we're living in?

I would like to reach out to the OP to tell him we say wheel nuts here in Ireland, but I don't have time. I need to go to the grocery store, as soon as I finish my morning beverage. I like to go early so I can park near the sidewalk. Then it's easy to put my groceries in the trunk.

TK, only joking!

Packed in brown paper bags, back home to change your brake rotors after having your peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Would these hubcaps have to be removed for the NCT?
