Wheel Covers (Hub Caps) - Toyota Yaris Forums

John Lenin · 02-24-2015, 11:36 AM

I don't like the stock wheel covers on my '09 2-Dr. H/B ... though similar to the stock '08 covers, the one's on my '09 aren't quite as "sporty" lookin' as the "spokes" are more filled in towards the center of the wheel as opposed to the more "open" look of the '08 covers ...

That said, am toying with replacing with a set of aftermarket covers and am looking for recommendations and/or pics of any aftermarket wheel covers folks might have installed on their Yaris H/Bs!

Why don't you do something like this. It looks so much better than the plastic wheel covers.

Totally agree. Those rings can be picked up pretty cheap at Pep Boys, etc., and look a lot better than any hub caps, imo. I rocked that look on my first car, which happened to be a white '86 Toyota Corolla FX hatchback. I think even just the steelies look better than hub caps. If I blew a wheel, I'd rock the steelies naked until I decided on a new set of wheels.

I really like the chrome trim ring n' center hub look, but a LOT of salt is used on the roadways here during winter, so steelies end up pitted and/or corroded pretty quickly ... same with alloys ... still would like to see some suggestions for aftermarket wheel covers ...

If you wanna look like a "balla", and get all the attention, you can put these spinning wheel covers on your car.

I have a set for my '09 HB.

They're nice and shiny, but almost impossible to fix if they get scratched.
