I have seen references to caps for the center of the 15" alloy wheel. Can someone point me to what options are available if I want to take off the stock plastic wheel cover? Also, what are some good (and inexpensive) options for replacing the stock wheels with a compatible (in as many ways as possible) 15" alloy? Thanks.
There is a thread somewhere on here for using the 1.5" knockouts from the electrics department at the Home Depot. They are .88$ each, and you just have to bend the tangs out an 1/8" all around. They are coated with galvanized tin, so basically won't interact with the wheels. I put a set on, and the neighbors even love them. Once you are a couple feet from the car, you don't notice the 1 1/2" stamped into them. I bought an extra set and some primer and silver matellic paint, but haven't bothered since they blend right in already.
ya i did the electrical knockouts from lowes and they look great. i bought chrome spray paint and didnt even use it because like the previous poster said, they blend in perfect. I recommend them because they are under a dollar per one. if you want the toyota ones i think you have to order the center pieces from the older model prius at like 20$ a pop.
I ordered it from my Toyota dealer. If your dealer can't find the part, let me know and I'll get the 411 from my dealer, the ever-friendly One Toyota of Oakland.
zioncools, Here's my summary of the Toyota center caps known to fit the 2010 Prius 15" wheel: * * * * * * * * * * * * LOLGuy, Rebound left off the "0" at the end. The correct part number for the textured cap is 42603-52110
Wow - Looks like I'm off to Home Depot. Now we need a topic detailing the differences between Home Depot and Lowes At .88, it's better than $16/ea ! Thanks to the posters, and those that braved to go where no one has gone before...
Got my center caps from toyotapartszone yesterday, popped the covers off and caps on and they look great. Thanks for the information.
I just bought a set of 15x7 +42mm offset Montegi SP10 wheels for a winter set. They are nice looking and light too.
