    Hey PriusChat!

    I recently got a new to me Prius that's black. Got some tint on it and saw may suggestions here about taking off the stock hubcaps, so I did that too. Love the look, but I want some center caps too. Any recommendations on where to find good ones?

    Thanks!

    Ebay if you are on a budget, just be sure to measure them. If you are made of money then you can just get them at the dealer.

    I am on the fence about doing this to mine and have been watching the ebay auctions for a while until I decide.

    Go to Lowes or HD and get some 1-1'2" (IIRC) electrical box knockout covers.
    They look like this:

    Sometimes they don't have the dimple, and sometimes they will or will not have a 1-1/2" stamped in them.
    They usually come in a bag of 5 for a buck or two, and you can paint them for another buck or two or leave them as-is.

    The last time I looked, LOWES had them plain/shiny as pictured.
    You may have to bend the tabs out a little to get a firm seat on the rim, but hey.....it's a buck or two.

    You can get cheap ($20 or so) center caps from Flebay or maybe Amazon.
    Some of these will even have the crossed a**hole Toyota symbol......or?...... you can get the "real" ones from the delaer for about double that.
    Your call.

    I know what I would do.
    ;)

    Good Luck

    I bought this exact set below and they fit perfectly. Sorry I've posted less than 5 times so I couldn't post a link yet.

    Thanks for all the tips, everyone! I'll probably just go the Lowes route. I can't find any center caps that will fit on eBay. They all seem a little too big for me. If the 1 1/2" knockout box covers fit, then I'm looking for something around 38mm. I can't seem to find many in that size on eBay.

    The 1-1/2 inch size is from memory!

    Measure twice, buy once.....and let us know how it works!

    I did this too and works great. The punch out blocks don't fit perfectly, they are kind of crooked, but they cover the hole and look good enough.
