Bought a Yaris yesterday - Toyota Yaris Forums

preston03 · 02-05-2011, 04:42 PM

I'm new here, my fiance and I just bought a 2009 yaris sedan yesterday( yes i got the power package) It has 37k miles on it, black ext black int. But I already ran into a problem. On our way back last night from the dealer 2 hub caps fell off, but we didn't notice til this morning. We already called the dealer and they are sending us new ones. But I've been having to pop the other 2 back in all day. Is this a common problem? And do any Yaris models come with actual alloy wheels or are they all steelies and hubcaps? Are there any cool things to know about the Yaris?

The "S" package comes with alloys, I believe. As for your hubcaps woes.....are these factory hubcaps? I have never had one come off....they fit very tightly and are tough to snap into place, so having them come loose/fall off is odd. If they are generic replacements then that is the problem.

They are generic replacements. I called the dealership and told them they fell off and they said they have a guy that comes to replace them that need it. They are pretty upset with him about it, they're having him ship them to me. But I want to throw some alloys on it anyway

First of all welcome to the forum, second if its Toyota hub caps they don't fall off because the cover it self is held down by the lugs and dealer should replace them with original hub caps but then again if your sedan is the S model it should have 15 inch alloy rim, follow up on that and let us know, good luck buddy

Hmmm....I can't speak to all Yaris', but I've owned an '09 & a '10 hatchback and both had steelies with hubcaps. The hubcaps are held in place by a snap ring, not the lug nuts. It sounds like a moot point since he wants alloys (so do I!).

dealership is going to call me on Monday. I'd like for them to send me genuine toyota wheel covers instead of the aftermarket. I'd really like to find a stock set of alloys but they are few and far between. I'll get some pictures posted of the car in a little bit.

Cool man, and if you are getting aftermarket mags, you can save the hubs and sell them, looking foward to some pics

preston03 · 02-05-2011, 10:39 PM

aftermarket mags? I like what people on here are doing with the 7 spoke scion wheels

big lo · 02-05-2011, 10:45 PM

Mags, rims all the same. Depends in what you are into looks, speed whatever it's your choice

big lo · 02-06-2011, 08:26 AM

Wow, nice and clean. Very mint, take care of her now.

preston03 · 02-06-2011, 04:32 PM

big lo · 02-06-2011, 05:45 PM

Watch ebay. There are dealers selling these for $65 each or $200/set. Shipping c an be high, tho. I was fortunate that one of those dealers was relatively local (about 50miles) so I just drove over and had them install them as well.
