===Non-rotating hubcap=== A non-rotating hubcap retains the same orientation even when a vehicle is in motion. An example is the Rolls-Royce whose hubcap centers are weighted and mounted to revolve independently of the wheel rotation, thus the RR logo can be read while the vehicle is in motion.<ref>{{cite magazine|url= http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-reviews/first-drives/2004-rolls-royce-phantom |title=2004 Rolls-Royce Phantom - Not your (affluent) father's BMW |first=Dennis |last=Simanaitis |date=29 May 2003 |magazine=Road and Track |access-date=13 January 2014}}</ref> This design also allows for messages or [[advertising]] to be placed on the hubcap and be read while the vehicle is moving.<ref>{{cite news|url= https://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/14/business/mediatalk-in-los-angeles-the-hubcap-as-billboard.html |title=MediaTalk; In Los Angeles, the Hubcap as Billboard |first=Andrew |last=Zipern |date=14 May 2001 |newspaper=The New York Times |access-date=13 January 2014}}</ref> Non-rotating hubcaps with advertisements may be found on race cars, [[Taxicab|taxi]]s, commercial vehicles, industrial machinery, [[buses]], and [[golf cart]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.farmshow.com/a_article.php?aid=4757 |title=Non-Rotating Hubcap |website=farmshow.com |year=1992 |volume=16 |issue=5 |page=17 |access-date=23 April 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Nudd |first1=Tim |title=Are hub-cap ads the wheel deal? |url= https://www.adweek.com/creativity/are-hub-cap-ads-wheel-deal-19677/ |publisher=Adweek |date=12 January 2006 |access-date=23 April 2023}}</ref>
