I got these hubcaps for Valentine's Day for my snow tires.

Finally, when the car has salt on it, it's justified.

New Bonneville racer? Where's the flat head and Lake pipes?
Maybe roll down the windows and get some aviator goggles!

Those are "wheel covers".

A "hubcap" is technically the small cover over the center of the wheel, while a "wheel cover" is a usually a decorative metal or plastic disk that snaps or bolts onto and covers the entire face of the wheel. Cars with stamped steel wheels often use a full wheel cover that conceals the entire wheel. Cars with alloy wheels or styled steel wheels generally use smaller hubcaps, sometimes called center caps.
 
I think wheel cover is a newer term..possibly sometime in the 90's it was started with more use? I don't ever recall someone saying wheel cover in the 70's or 80's..it was always hubcap...maybe it was hubcap when they were still mostly made of metal and when they went to plastic it became wheel cover..
