    I was wondering if anyone knows the easiest place to get a cover for the center of the wheel after removing the wheel covers?

    Options for wheels that won't impact MPG?

    Amazon.com $11 for 4 W/Toyota emblem. They won't impact your mpg more than 10mpg.

    10 mpg?

    Maybe 1 mpg, at the most, but probably more like a fraction thereof.

    Has anyone used the center caps personally? I'm reading some are too small or large.

    My MPG concerns weren't with stock rims, but if I wanted to go aftermarket.

    I have centercaps on our 15 inch stock rims. They've been on the wheels since about 2 weeks after we took delivery of the car.

    I got them in!!!! Finally!!!

    Had to use the electrical tape trick, otherwise they would rattle when driving. They are just slightly too loose.

    Good trick on electrical tape. They will surely not make any noticeable difference on mpg.
