    I have a 2015 and 2 of the original wheel covers have come off. I've seen inexpensive ones on line and at wal-mart for like 40-50 buck for 4, but would really just like a small center cap for the black wheels themselves. If it had the Toyota emblem and was silver that seems like it would be good, but even just a plain silver or even black plastic one would be fine to me. Just something to cover up the nut that holds the brake disk on, be something the tire guys don't have to remove and possible break, and that would make it look a little less like it's "broken" or something is missing(because it is!), for lack of a better expression.

    Yes there are bunches of center caps that should be able to be had for the whole size that's in the center of your wheel I run a bunch of different wheels on my Prius they're the correct offset and everything but the center cap holds on mine are larger older Toyotas had silver center caps that would go in the center of the wheel that had the Toyota t on them they were very common on some trucks and SR5 vehicles You can measure your hole that you have on your given wheels and look on tire sites and you will find something that can pop into that hole generally speaking and then it'll look more finished although the center caps that you're looking for unless they're really cheap and believe it or not they will cost about 7 bucks a pop versus about the 9 to 12 apiece of the Walmart set of four wheel covers so it's kind of a toss-up

    You can see the Toyota part number on the back. 42603-52110 OEM are more expensive, you can get replicas on eBay.

    You've posed essentially the same question in four other existing threads; I answered in one of them.

    Also, if the center covers say they are compatibile with Toyota Yaris wheels, they'll fit the third gen Prius oem wheels.

    Consider no wheel covers and no caps... It actually looks nicer that way!

    If u want them to last more than 1 day then don't buy cheap Chinese crap. No joke. Besides, PRC enslaves their ppl. And, PRC is our enemy. Why would you support that Govt

    Your local big-box home-improvement store has plain caps for unused holes in outdoor electrical boxes. One size of those (nominal 1½", I think, but actually larger diameter) is a perfect fit on the center hole in Prius wheels, if you bend the tabs slightly. They're plated steel, but match the "silver" wheel color nicely. The plating's good enough that mine haven't rusted in ~8 years. No Toyota trademark on them, but they're so inconspicuous nobody has commented that they look "wrong."
