    Hey all ,

    I just remove the plastic hubcaps for cleaning and the wheels underneath are very nice. I'm planning on leaving them off. Two questions, I'm wondering if anyone knows what size or where to get the center caps. I would like black ones if possible. Also there are some light scratches on the wheels where the hubcaps were attached with clips and I'm wondering if anyone has a method to get those scratches out or at least to get the dirt out of the scratches so it would be less noticable.

    The hubcaps are there for aerodynamics to improve mpg. The alloy wheels are there to reduce weight to improve mpg. In any case, you can get the center caps in multiple colors and logos. Here is a sample on Ebay: center caps 2012 Toyota Prius V Three 1.8L in Wheel Center Caps | eBay

    I need some new center caps. I'd like ones that are NOT branded, just plain. I ordered some from Amazon.
    63mm Silver Car Wheel Center Hub Caps Base Set of 4 for OZ Racing Superturismo WRC Superturismo LM 7.5 J × 17 inches PCD (4x108)/(5x120) Wheels

    3 of the 4 fell out within a few weeks of normal driving (not hitting any curbs!). That was a waste of money.
