I pulled off the plastic wheel covers to expose the naked wheels only to discover the center caps missing. Has anyone found a mail order source for them. I've done some cursory Googling for them on sites mentioned here on PC but haven't yet found them. Thanks in advance...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(BGreen1 @ Jun 24 2007, 12:41 PM) [snapback]467286[/snapback]</div> i took off my plastic wheel covers too, i have no center caps and when i asked the parts department at a toyota dealership ( i just happened to stroll by) they said they got nothing that goes there! what gives
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(rigormortis @ Jun 24 2007, 02:52 PM) [snapback]467310[/snapback]</div> Just ask your parts guy to order the center caps for the standard Prius wheel (the 15inch ones). I paid about $8.oo each at my Dealer.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(kibblz @ Jun 24 2007, 02:08 PM) [snapback]467314[/snapback]</div> if i can verify that the 2007 prius touring model comes with center caps installed, ill see if i can score some free ones, because they werent there when i purchased it. then ill see about ordering them
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(rigormortis @ Jun 24 2007, 03:20 PM) [snapback]467318[/snapback]</div> I'm pretty sure that they do not come with them. I have a 2007 and it did not come with them. If you check around on the site you'll see that it's a common mod on the touring edition, but good luck getting free ones.
ok i got my confirmation from toyota that they just dont come with center caps. im going to go to the parts counter soon to buy 4 do u got a part # ? because the last time i went to a toyota parts counter and asked about them they said they had nothing that goes there

Added confirmation: The 2007 Touring Edition Prius has 'moulded-in center caps' on the plastic wheel covers. When you remove the wheel covers, there is no center cap over the end of the axles. The center caps for the 2004-2007 Prius 'standard' 15" wheels are a perfect fit for the Touring 16" wheels and are usually in stock at a Toyota dealer at modest cost. Nothing was left off or omitted - that's the way they come. CIAO

I don't know if they will look goofy with chrome against the grey finish on the wheels, but at least they'll keep the critters from making a home there...
Look at the current thread on "Plastic Wheel Rims" - I posted pictures 'with' and 'without' for comparison.
