Hubcaps or no??? - Page 4 - Toyota Yaris Forums

krolos · 07-31-2010, 08:45 PM

I went to Napa and looked for some center caps for 14'' stock steelies,
some of you have gotten yours there,
they did not have the right size, not in their catalog either.
does anyone have the part number or size for the 14'' rim?

Thanks

That's probably the most innacurate statement I've heard all week - no, correction, all month.

What's the part #'s for the center caps and trim rings? Or even center caps alone.

Shit looks hella PI <3

Trim rings - no idea. I just picked up a generic set for 15" wheels at the local O'Reillys. Dust cap Part No.: BK 7302411. These will have to be picked up at NAPA as they're a Napa part. Two come per box. They won't fit the centers right off the bat... You'll have to get that waterproof 3M Double-sided tape and line the interior wall of each dust cap. You'll definitely wanna sand & paint them too. I finally did mine over the weekend with several coats of glossy black Rustoleum.

Two of my hubcaps are cracked and one of them looks like a piece would eventually fall off hitting a pothole. I'll take pics later if I remember to. In the meantime, I've been looking at these two for replacements. Some places are selling Toyota hubcaps for $40/each.

Damage was caused by parking too close to the curb and it doesn't help that the hubcaps stick out a bit.

wheelweights.net is all you need. The Yaris steelies are on there too.

Now most of the wheels the autocrossers get are lighter than or close to the steelies, but anything 17" and over get to be heavy.

Yaris steelies 15x6 16lbs. My Konigs 15x6.5 10.8 lbs.

That looks nice!

Freedan · 09-12-2010, 03:14 AM

Looks like I'll bet getting a set of wheel trims for the time being. Just can't afford nice rims and new tires at the moment.

Are steelies really better than alloys through winter?

And are bullet caps with a trim ring easy to install?

I don't think it is a case of better or worse, but in saving the investment in them by not exposing them to the winter elements.

However in snow driving, the smaller and thinner the tire is, the better.
