    Any center cap for 2010- should work, but ebay sellers aren't rigorous about truth in advertising. I have some arriving Thursday for my wheels and can measure them then; I believe they're supposed to be 55mm.

    thanks. the funny thing is that most of the centers say they fit 2010-2014. i dont get the difference in the 2015 and i even ordered some for 2010- 2014. they were too big??????????

    FYI: these caps do not just slide into the center hub hole, they have to be snapped into the center hub with a moderate tap with a rubber mallet. They have an interference fit so that they won’t fall out. Could this be your problem?

    maybe, but it seemed that they were too wide for even that. im hoping someone with 15" 2015 will tell me exactly which ones they are. i really do appreciate your thoughts, though.these would have taken a wallop and a have with a sledge hammer....

    I guess we can't post links? I provided a link to the product I bought on Amazon, I guess the moderators blocked it. Sorry.
