Anyone familiar with torrent/ equinox steel wheels and wheel cover design? I have a vue with steel wheels. i found 1 equinox with steel wheels at junkyard. Kinda rare. Ok Michelin tires but no hubcaps. I looked at 10 vues and none had good wheels. So I got 1 nox wheel and it fits fine but the vue hubcap does not fit correctly. It seems like the nox wheel has about 1/2” shallower offset. I guess it’s an odd question but I would hate to have to track down a nox wheel cover.

Trying to understand your question because you start with Pontiac Torrent and Chevrolet Equinox and then start saying "vue" which I assume is a Saturn Vue?
The Saturn Vue 2009 shows only alloy wheels at gmpartsdirect.com so the Vue hubcap and the Vue steel wheel may not be GM parts.
Same with the Equinox other than the compact spare I see no steel wheels or hubcaps.

Hi Doug,
I can see a wheel cover would be for a steel wheel but no hub caps?

i have equinoxes and torrents and vues. All have interchangeable wheels. It’s rare to see steel wheels on equinoxes. I know for a fact a standard Chevy fwd steel wheel “hubcap” will not fit on a vue. i bought some Chevy plastic wheel covers and they did not work on vue. I needed a temp steel wheel/ tire for my vue and assumed wheel would fit. It does. But I can’t easily use vue wheel cover. I have to press it in about 1/2” for locking lug nuts to engage. My vue is 2003. The equinox wheel I got was from a 2006. Both are 5x115. The wheel cover is held on by 5 plastic lug nuts that you screw onto steel lug nuts. I think almost all gm wheel covers use the same lugnut attachment.

Only the Vue shows one full wheel cover, the rest of the all three divisions show center caps, Mel.
The 2005 Equinox I had in AZ had Aluminium wheels.
Best bet for the "op " is to find a full set of FWD GM full hubcaps that bolt on with the lugnuts that are the right diameter as his rims as Cavell mentioned above.
Lug nut covers come in 2 different lengths also , found that out when I switched from my Sunbirds full covers to the Fiero center caps.
