    Hope all is well! Anyone know where I can get a black wheel center cap to fit my '14 Prius C Two? I would like to remove the wheel covers, but want to cover up the rusty center. Black is to match the steelies color.

    Thanks!

    A 2" ABS end cap (has ID about 2 3/8") might work:

    Nibco 2 In. ABS Cap Hub | The Home Depot Canada

    I use them with Corolla steel rim snow tires last winter, stayed on ok. I push section cut from bicycle inner tube on first, then work on the cap.

    Check the OD of your rim center hub; if it's just slightly under 2 3/8" these caps should work.

    Try a 1 1/2" trade size knockout cover for an electrical panel, I used 2" for my Prius V they come galvanized, so pickle them overnite in vinegar wash and dry them and paint them black, at a buck apiece what a deal.

    Napa balkamp grease cap 730-2411. They fit tight, just tap them on. I sprayed mine gloss black with the steel wheels and added new chrome lugs and chrome beauty rings.

    I got official toyota center caps on amazon for about twelve bucks. They come plastic and look like silver. I used plastidip black and then plastidip glossifier on them. Satisfied with their appearance.

    alternatively you can paint your hub center black with hi-temp paint and leave out the center caps

    Used 2" or 2 1/4" (CRS disease) electrical knockout plugs galvanized steel $1.75 for 4, works great no gerat loss if putz loses one @ tire store.
